WINGS OF AN EAGLE
Soaring eagle
higher than he has ever been
until pushed back
by mighty winds

In his youth
he was cautiouse and clear
of the danger
in his fear

He knew weekness
was an evil ill
one which could always
force him to kill

So everyday
he worked his wings
spreading the assurance
which strength brings

In compitition
he had none
no one could match
not a single one
The eagle still
grew weary inside
trying to swallow
the tears he cried

For no matter
how fast he could fly
he could not touch
every sky

And even tho'se
who laid under his wings
would not help bear
the pain of loves stings

Untill he cried
almost giving up his goal
of touching every sky
with the love in his soul

Please meak eagle
remember what you knew
only your own fear and weekness
can kill you.
