Learning From the Eagle

There is a reason as to why the eagle of king of all birds It may be because he is the wisest of them all For when the storms of life come He merely spreads his wings And uses the energy of the destructive winds ...to effortlessly lift him up, higher and higher above it all Where he hovers on calm and unperturbed As all the birds below get drenched on their trees One thing that one has to appreciate of the eagle Is that it clearly fathoms its worth For it lives on the highest tree on the tallest peak Not down below like the chicken does The chicken too does have its worth ...but it’s usually that which the owner sets on it Whereas the eagle determines its own And is bound by no variable except those it sets on itself Two lessons thus arise Always be wise enough to use the stormy winds of trouble ...directed your way with malicious intents or just by fate ...to lift you even higher up to calmer levels When all about you are losing their heads Be sure to keep yours in check When all about you are busy trying to outdo others in lashing tongues ...find yourself a beach and write down your slander, anger and curses in the sand But never express them with your tongue You will never be sorry for that which you didn’t say Wise people see through life ...they see through today and into tomorrow Do not look at your problems with a magnifying glass ...but with a powerful binoculars that sees far beyond ...into the dreams and visions that are tomorrow bound to be For the bottom line is ...we were born to live ...and to live means being happy, always ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~ Dedicated to my dear friend Andrea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ~ ~
