It Caught My Eye

I drove by snowbanks with mountains in view
Pleasant thoughts traveled with me on my ride
Under deep blue skies, in a bright sun’s golden hue

When it caught my eye, flying from the side
A Bald Eagle soared out of trees I passed
Pleasant thoughts traveled with me on my ride

A sight captured in my mind, now to last
A clear elegant flight, welcomed me
A Bald Eagle flew out of trees I passed

So grateful for a surprise sight to see
Nothing but a smile was left on my face
A clear elegant flight, welcomed me

My thoughts now lifted to another place
Things we may see next, we do not know
Nothing but a smile was left on my face

We seek answers, yet so much to know
I drove by snowbanks with mountains in view
An eagle caught my eye, star of the show
Under deep blue skies, in sun’s bright golden hue

We have an eagle that comes by every so often. I am glad we do not have to worry about snow. Nicely done. Easy flow.
