Ode to DNA

A protein would not even try to compare
To a molecule so great, it wouldn't dare
Though scientists tried to lead us astray
This is an ode to DNA

It began with a question. How did we come about?
And soon enough, an idea did sprout
of a single molecule so important indeed
that to create new life it would be all that we need

So in my heart lies a special place
reserved to be thankful for each nitrogen base
and in each and every human cell
a strand of DNA will always dwell
