'shielding the Unsung Heroes'

You r right .. that is exactly what I have in mind... by. The way the eagle is a big reflection here in Texas ... enjoyed,..p.d.

Wilma, I will dedicate any success in the earthly elements contest to your dear mother. What does she like to do in the dirt the most? My professor at school has had this website up on the board during lectures...eagles are my favorite birds.. Your poem captures the reverence of this bird...I have learned so much from this website tracking their peculiar ways. Pappa eagle dropped a huge rat in the nest to feed the eaglets daily. That was rather gruesome. Check it out, girl. http://www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles Gwendolen
