The Eagle Soars

©Mimie D.


Our American Bald Eagle stands bold and proud
Representing our nation's liberty,
Soaring effortlessly above the shores
Peering down at the majestic sea.


Its wings caress the perpetual clouds
As it peers bravely to the earth,
They gracefully adorn the lulling wind
Proudly brag our nation’s birth.


Its eyes are golden as the earth's mother lode
And gaze upon the mountain peaks,
Keen and brilliant is its brow
Standing firm they seem to speak.


Its tail is broad and fans the wind
Like a rudder it gracefully flows,
Feathers spread to take their leave
Soon to branch it will repose.
