Wings of Power

Sometimes it's hard to remember That greatness comes first from Something so small and dependent. Just as the Bald Eagle chick That hatches so helpless Must depend upon parents, So was the growth of our country, Finding her wings with thirteen Colonies and a Declaration of Independence. Boasting freedom to be necessary And proper and showing The world her wings of greatness. First a poult and then a Proud parent herself, Soaring over all the world Proclaiming that others Will enjoy freedom,, While protecting her domain.
