An 'Eagle' flew above the gloomy clouds
That engulfed him in a misty shroud

The Eagle whispered to the clouds to rain
The downpour entrapped him in a watery bane

Lightening struck and broke his feeble wings
'ALL' the mighty storms blew in full swing 

The Eagle lifted his broken wings in flight
And flew higher toward that blissful light

The Eagle, to the sky’s embrace, has flown
Fearless; is that his coffin or his throne?

In heaven he will now eternally dwell
It was the time for him to bid farewell

Do not grieve or his passing mourn
For he is at peace; and unto peace reborn
