There is no sight for tomorrow
Without first the eyes for this day
Thus, take heed, that your heart might not leave
From your only true love
The One Who is the same yesterday, today and forever
Whose Sacred Heart still bleeds for sinners upon the altar
Yet modern man whose “legs of nature” runs "to and fro’
Trying to catch a glimpse at “the latest” through the “inward
window”
Scratching only the surface he sacrifices unto “gods”
already seen
And when it shall be taken he sinks to find what his ailing heart
hast sown
But in this dark his “true self” he shall come to know
Yea, Our God is a Mighty Fortress who still reigns
And upon the seventh floor we still adore, we still believe
For this is an Eagles Creed, Father, Son & Holy Ghost
Our Creator, Redeemer & Sanctifier, Thee Most Holy
Trinity
Every eagle has his own cliff to leap
Every soul hast its own temptations to fight but this only breeds
opportunity
For with strong wings to embrace the “rough winds” an Eagle
hast no need
Because Hope keeps him afloat above all life’s “worries”
Reason, although good, can only help us to know
But Is still beneath us in the sea below, shining the Face of
the Son above
And so it is told......In every eagle’s journey
We take what God grants and bless Him for He is holy
We embrace what He allows because He still is “All-Knowing”
O’ eagles! Wherest the devil leads in false light despair
wilst follow assuredly
But only Hope knows that in the deep, long and cold winter
of the soul
A new flower is awaiting patiently to bud under the Son in this
new spring
Wherest His Presence never grows old...
So build thy nest wisely now, take refuge and make thy heart
His home
Let us live well by first dying unto self
Because there is no dying twice unless your eternal sentence
is hell
Harken heareth an Eagle speak!
Wilst ye still keep silent or turnest the other cheek?
O’ Who is with Me?
Yea, my eyes within have hoped for and have seen thy Face in
glory
But for now I keepest Thy Fire ablaze wilst still remaining in
body
And when the dark comes to knock upon thy door trying to
sell you anxiety
Mayst all the eagles gather and shout with one Voice in
unity
“For Thou art my Hope an Unconquerable Fortress of Strength
against all my enemies”
So fly high in thy skies divine
Ready thyself to descend and to usher in man’s new destiny once again
thru Mary
Pray ye, savest me O’ God, from every greed and mayst we flee
Towards the heavens far from every flattering praise and the
trap of money
Asking to grow strong in virtue
Sustaining the weak & encouraging the weary
For every eagle excites in the first crack of thunder and
bolt of lightning
Because in holy suffering he delights
Knowing that in charity there is no end
And thru the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady
In which we do
take refuge in this Great Tree
Shall we one day land in the Day of Restoration whence the
Eagle shall speak
And we shall usher in the New Beginning….
Harken heareth an Eagle speak!
Upon the Wings of Faith & Hope we fly with Eyes open wide in Charity
Upon the Wings of Faith & Hope we fly with Eyes open wide in Charity
What a poet..........amazing
