~ THE AMERICAN EAGLE ~
Straight
as an arrow, shot from a
bow,
there has never been a
bird more regal,
flying high over the
lofty mountain tops,
than our majestic
American Eagle.
It glides, as if it were
an angel.
None, can ever begin to
compare,
as it soars nobly
through the sky,
to it's beauty so
uniquely rare.
It is respected and
fully protected.
The Native peoples of
this great land,
who were here many
centuries before
know this bird as mighty
and grand.
It is a powerful symbol
of our country.
The American eagle
forever shall be,
as it was created by the
Great Spirit
tradition for the brave
and the free.
It flies much higher
than our flag,
it's not restrained by
an earth bound pole.
Flying from sea to
magnificent sea,
the eagle's glory will
ever have a role.
It represents freedom to
me.
I pray that it will
always abide.
On the wings of the
eagle,
our liberty doth ride.
It still expresses our
self-reliance
The eagle, still flies
unconstrained.
Exalted, it still
proclaims our splendor.
Forever, may it continue
to reign.
It is part of the
American dream,
I view it with much
affection.
It still declares our
independence.
With the eagle I feel an
awing connection.
