Our Nation's symbol that is always alert and vigilent. |

Oh what beauty to see an American eagle soar thru the sky Such grace as it rides the air currents far above The mighty wings moving up and down as if waving to those below The sharp eyes always vigilant, always ready
This soaring bird sees movement below and slowly moving around Its wings swept back as it swiftly dives towards the ground His mighty claws extend out and the sharp tips fold around the rodent Then letting his wings move again into the air current he soars
This mighty bird is a symbol not only of the free spirit it has But a symbol of a nation, a mighty nation that is envy to the world At one time, there was a debate about our nation's symbol The two symbols were a Turkey and an Eagle
The Continental Congress debated and voted And the winner was the Eagle by only ONE vote This wonderful, mighty bird is the symbol of the USA Bold and decisive, it reaches out to all of us, to be like the Eagle
