Floating on the current
Ever gracefully
Effortlessly he climbs
Viewing his domain

Survival and providing
His only lot in life
He does his duty well
Insuring a future for his own

The wind may press against him
And try to impede his progress
But strength, determination
Will see him to his goal

On wings of eagles
We all strive to soar
Power and persistence
To carry all of us home

Love one another-let God do the worrying,
Rodney

Rodney~
The majesty of the eagle on wing ...
nothing quite as proud and powerful !

You've captured him well.

Rodney, this was very visual, very breathtaking poetry. I liked it a lot.

Wow! I love this one. Great visuals but I also see some underlying thoughts as well, perhaps that is just me though.

Majestic creatures, and you captured their grace in this piece.

Thanks for the replies all...and EagleOne..yes there is an underlying meaning...just that it can be hard today to be a husband and daddy...the odds sometimes seem like they are against you...but with determination and love you can do anything.
