Want To Do Your Best

Want To Do Your Best Eagle was with white wings which were elegant And wherever he would fly or even had went Was majestic, glorious and also so mighty Taking all things seriously and never lightly. Flew with fine effort that he could not quit And every time his mate had made an eaglet Outside often had been harsh and was raining He still took youngsters for flying training. One day after he did drink a few night caps Suddenly did dive ending up in a total collapse And his story had a mighty miserable moral Life comes to an end when you miss the portal. What he did was fly into a wide wall instead And of course sure enough ended up dead Had to give away all rights that were declarant And died due to being a pretty poor parent. So this surely thought that I should suggest When you really want to do your very best Encourage education to become more eclectic And become a pleasant parent who is poetic. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran .

When will he be coming back and is he in the Army Infantry? That surely must be a miserable place. Jim Horn
