Royal Visitor

I hear his call before I spy
The owner of that wild bird cry.
Protected from the guns of man,
He may live out his full life span.
I watch God's aerial masterpiece
And pray his numbers may increase.
The symbol of Land Of Liberty,
Freer than man can ever be.

Though I would gladly have him stay,
The bald head eagle soars away.



Won 3rd place 3 way tie in contest
