The Head of the Eagle

The Head of the Eagle 
 by Joan Donnelly Ellis

 It is not the wing of the Eagle that enables it to soar to great height
 Nor is it the feet of the Eagle although they've impressive might
 It is not the eye of the Eagle that carries it to where sanction abounds
 But it is the head of the Eagle that lifts it to higher ground
