Forever Watchful

When our forefathers landed at Jamestown in 1607, they echoed loudly the founding of what they acknowledged as their utopia: The land of enchantment—America! Through decade after decade, change after change, advancement after advancement, many, many symbols became lasting representatives of the United States of America. Of these is an icon of American freedom, the American bald eagle, which was adopted as the national bird in 1782.

Have your thoughts of this majestic eagle been one of acceptance and no more? Are you one of those fortunate enough to have witnessed its beauty and poise in flight? Perhaps on a clear, sunny day an unexpected moment led you to lift your eyes toward a lofty perch where regal in stance it balances on a tree limb or gracefully places snippets of food in the gapping mouths of its young. 

Whatever your experiences, or lack thereof, there is strength to be appreciated in the genealogy of the eagle that binds it to America, the land and her people. The eagle's keen eyes are forever watchful as the wind brushes beneath its wings lifting it gently to soar over the hills, valleys, rivers and streams. What a magnificent sight!

Let us all be like the eagle—FOREVER WATCHFUL!

    See poem below but this is why I wrote it! March 10, 2011 (Today's date is 3/16/2012)
    Last night I had a dream and in the dream I was in my dad’s backyard and daddy told me to look up. (My father passed away 20 years ago). On a telephone poll an Eagle 10 feet tall was grasping an eagle the size eagle’s usually are! Then the Giant eagle took off flying holding this eagle.
    To prove its size it flew down into a field of football players, so more
    people would be able to witness the truth of his presence. Most interesting.
    God, God is the answer, not the United State of American. God is the truth
    and God will devour the Eagle. That is what my father was showing me.
    We must let God prevail, We must live by God’s word. Our country needs
    to change its ways and restore this country to God’s Word. God will not
    devour the Eagle if we change and do so now.

    The Eagle

    God bless American indeed!
    We must do our part and heed!
    God has given us His word.
    Freedom rang and our choices blurred.
    The Eagle will soar it’s true,
    But not one in red, white and blue.
    What can we do, well let’s pray!
    More than that, give up your old ways!
    Come to the truth that is written.
    To God’s word we become smitten.
    Then the Eagle will carry us,
    Into a new age; peacefulness.

      Genora, thank you so much for sharing! That is absolutely awesome:) While I might 'call' myself a writer, all of my works are from His hand to mine, from my heart to yours. I am only the messenger. The Lord truly works through mysterious ways:)
