Eagles {birds of Prey}

I am the predator you watch up in the sky Blessed by the Lord with the keenest of eyes I nest in the canyons high up on the walls Keeping my babies safe from it all When my babies grow hungry and it's time to feed I rely on my senses to provide what they need As I take to the sky it's so clear to see You think of freedom while looking at me Protected from hunters I've no need to hide As upon the currents I gracefully glide As I circle the sky throughout the day I scour the ground searching for prey When prey is spotted I go into my dive Know that speed and accuracy are how I survive You duck and you dodge for no use at all With you held in my talons I fly back up the wall Back to the nest to the fruit of my seed For you are the food my babies need Then back to the sky where I notice under a tree One peaceful poet is writing of me

Congratulations Michael on "Eagles(Birds of Prey)" being featured. Oh, by the way, add the Bears to the list that have eaten my Eagles. My first remark must have been a premonition. Our first two losses have been Cowboys and Redskins. God Bless. Vince

this was a beautiful warm, touching, gentel, peaceful piece of great poetry you wrote Michael. thank you for reading my A Reb's letter to his mother and for your comment. no I made it up. but i have a great love for the history of the civil war. it was the worse war we ever had. I can see the history in my mind, so yesterday i was listening to some cival war songs and this idea came to me, thank you for being a friend.
