The Eagle Stands


So many souls at St. Peter's gate
and prayers up of one accord.
Our nation shocked all turned to help
and gave what they could afford.

As one we rose in disbelief
not crippled as was planned,
we stood united wings widespread
the Eagle took a stand.

I see a flag in every yard
as we stand as one to fight.
the faceless nameless coward
that should be shot on site.

He best be looking over his shoulder
everywhere at the same time.
Soon what he loved, or thought, or was
with all be left behind.

If he did it to be remembered
I'm afraid he'll get his way.
His name will be written in history
with others whom on innocent prey.

Please God bless our great nation
as you have done in the past.
As she stands up for her freedom
Knowing, it will always last……..
