The High and The Mighty

Forever watching from high above
Descending from the Master
Life is but a flight of light
Given by the Great Spirit
Mine is to demonstrate the way
Fear not as fear can cripple
He also is watching over you
Dive into life... take aim
At times you must soar
Given that time to ponder
Always with an eye like mine
Sharp as a twinkle of light
Hunt today with bravery
Today may be all there is
Follow the mighty one
As tomorrow new and different
Look up... there you will find me
Sailing the waves of the Spirit
Keeping an eye on all of you
As the Spirit has chosen for me to do
I'll show you the way to your spirit
As He has done for me
Being the eagle is a privilege
Being like the eagle is heaven

    A great look at the presence of The Eagle. To be free to soar without fear over what is seen from above. To walk with courage and stand brave knowing tomorrow will bring new challenges to come against, but knowing that the great spirit has sent what is called a warrior and protector of the skies.
    A good entry my friend, well done.
