The Majestic Ones

The majestic eagle soaring high over the stone mountain,

keeping watch over your proud population.

Your strength, your prowess, you have deep devotion,

from your people who solely roamed this once great nation. 

The great spirit gave you the power

 to heal when you came their way,

You passed that power to the people of your land

and that power is still used today.

The streghth in those wings

the sharpness of the talons,

no creature on this living earth

could come close in comparison.

The bravery of those warriors

who came to pluck your feathers.

the tests of manhood they once had to endure

to proclaim to be brothers.

To be in the presence of this great hunter

surely leaves people in awe

Great spirit look after this creation

lest we lose our way and fall.

    I wonder if you've been exposed to Native American spirituality because this really sounds like something they would write, not a British military man. I guess it proves that God/Great Spirit is everywhere and available to anyone who looks for him/ her? I enjoyed it very much, people don't look enough at nature and appreciate it.
