An Eagle's Prayer The long and short version combined with a photo I took to go along with the short version of this prayer for liberty's future.by Gary Wood

Dear Lord,
You know I patrol the skies over the home of the brave, this land of the free.
These days there's a cause for me to pause as I see the death of liberty's tree.
Her seeds were sowed over 220 years ago as you well know since your hands were there.
As a young tree she grew strong, strong enough for me to nest as the people gave her care.
People enjoyed relaxing in her shade and even in the depth of winter comfort could be found.
Today her limbs are beginning to droop while her roots are seemingly becoming bound.
There once was many who took the time for watering, pruning, and caring as she grew.
However even though there are more people living near her it seems far fewer ever do.
When landing there to nest these days the branches barely hold my weight.
Dear lord is there anything this eagle can do before it becomes too late?
If you can simply give me a voice I'll tell everyone across the land our tree is sick.
If you can help me grow some hands I'll water, prune, and care for her but please do this quick.
You see the next great storm is coming when the winds will surely whirl and blow.
The way our tree is feeling right now it may be more than she can stand, you know?
Please don't let her die dear Lord, don't let her people lose her shade.
When that happens we both know the sun will burn too hot while my people all will fade...
