A Passion for the world

Ever since I was small,

Science has fascinated me,

From the worms underground,

To the sky up above,

The books I read became answers,

To many questions I asked,

Science made me follow nature’s path,

From Chemistry to Biology,

To every life form on earth,

To every star in the sky,

To every galaxy ever known,

Held a question that I still didn’t know,

I remember catching fireflies,

Wondering why they glow,

How they illuminated such a beautiful light,

Watching them in fascination,

As I imagined it was a magic show,

I remember my first microscope,

Fascinated by all the things I couldn’t see,

Now that I think of it,

If I never had science I wouldn’t know where I’d be,

My years of joy to study and explore,

Has opened up a glorious door,

I knew my love of science will be for life,

I want to research about the answers never known,

Go to places I’ve never been before,

Dig under rocks, study the insects,

Be a kid again,

But doing it for work,

For a job in the sciences,

Will be a job I will forever enjoy,

Because the universe is filled with questions,

That no book may answer,

But science is a book,

You can find it all,

All you need is a microscope,

Or a lab of your own

A passion for science,

And the questions you wondered,

About the universe,

Or the earth down below,

Those questions will be answered,

And I guarantee those answers will now be known
