​They sail along, like jeweled boats,
On gently rocking waves,
A fleet to treat all watching eyes,
That scan the pond for faves.

This stately line of feathered kind
A silent mystery streams
As grace and beauty on parade
Surpass the best of dreams.

Abundant though the Canada Geese,
A special charm they bear;
The whitish scarf tied high and proud
Is flag to life we share.

While countries sit in boundaries drawn
Of places and their names,
These birds remind a greater truth:
Pervasive soul remains.
