Dear Friends,

Please see below a sonnett that I wrote in tribute to Charles Darwin.  Please use it any way you see fit to promote Darwin Day.

Best wishes,

Nancy May.

DARWIN DAY

For one who dares to visit strange terrain,

Observing with a liberated brain,

Amazing graces, intrigues, trepidations,

Navigate the voyage of exploration.

Each discovery must be documented,

Systematic Study unrelenting,

Finding patterns, changes and selection,

Progress, evolution, insurrection.

Wondrous world where fruits of knowledge abound,

A paradise that might be lost or found.

Human endeavour lays the cornerstones.

Blocks of science build a healthy home.

My heart's desire to live and die this way.

Rejoicing.  Every day is Darwin Day.
