The Bald Eagle Speaks

The Bald Eagle Speaks

Being one of North America’s largest Birds

 The feeling of responsibility is almost beyond my words

My over 7000 feathers help me keep from harm

And during the winter they keep me warm.

I am a symbol of freedom and escape from strife

Independence is the symbol of my life

Yes among birds I seek be in charge.

That’s in part because I am very large.

You humans need examples that I will share.

Once I got a wife I was always be there

Even though she’s bigger than me

She does not try to scare,

So, while there still those who like to shoot me

I will continue to be one of America’s beauties

And fly through the air on life long duties

And sing; My Country Tiss of Thee
