TO MAKE AN EAGLE CRY
What does it take to make an Eagle cry?
Unmerciful destruction of American lives.
Unknowing and working, to keep America free
Loved ones taken without warning so violently.
Yes, there was time for some to say goodbye.
Heartbreaking messages, tearful cries,
The loss of children, Moms and Dads
Separated forever, my God,
… MY GOD…
how terribly sad
There will be certain retribution made
and by this loss of life, many will be saved.
Our honor demands that justice be done
The down payment of this war,
… PAID…

Author’s Note: Being an old Soldier, from a bygone war; One not so popular, but even so my heart now soars at the unity and resolve and the resurrection of pride in the Red, White and Blue flown half mast in our skies
… I BELIEVE…
there is a greater power than an Eagle, with tears in His eyes. No, He can’t be seen but He has always been nearby, and perhaps He is saddened that we have taken so long to lift up our eyes and prayers and sung unto Him the long forgotten songs.
But no need to fear, Gods grace still stands. And He holds those unmercifully taken forever in his hands; and His love never fails nor will it ever canker or rust.
… Because America…
Our blessed America, was built on the principle of,
… In God we trust…
“United we stand; Divided we fall”
… GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS…
