THE EAGLE


Courageous and majestic, the eagle takes flight,
ever watchful for threat, by day and by night.

Sharp eyes and talons will flush out her prey,
she will stop at nothing to keep enemies at bay.

Warning cry's echo. Time is at hand.
When her prey is devoured, the eagle will land.

Americans be proud, watch the eagle soar,
protecting her nest from shore to shore.

A symbol of courage for all to see,
with honor and power, the eagle is free.
