There is no sight for tomorrow

Without first the eyes for this day

Uponst the horizon I see this painted clearly

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
