Thank you for bringing us back.
Thank you, everyone,
for all the hard work you’ve done
preparing for our return
after so many years.

Now we can see how you live.
We’re watching you from above.
We see what you’ve changed.  
We see what you haven’t.
And we know what needs to be done.

But don’t worry.  Don’t panic.
We love you still.
If you do your part, we’ll do ours. 
Just remember, birds are real.

— Vincent F Peloso
