"The journey is the reward."
- Steve Jobs
Mighty Eagle
soaring high,
never let them see you cry.
You stand for
strength and pride,
so true.
You won't show
the true feelings you have,
only to remain standing proud.
You spread your wings
with a majestic flair,
but only to hide a glossy stare.
You do it for our foolish desperation
to believe in something,
as solid as our nation.
When we are down and feeling blue
we come to you for strength and courage,
helping us through triumphant victories.
But is it fair
to hide in despair,
from the public eye?
For you must be true to yourself
and let out the gentle dove in you,
could it be, is that a tear in your eye?
Mighty Eagle
You dare not let down our faith,
I'm so proud of you!
