An eagles cry too late when two heart's become a family of four
Posted: 2/13/2006 7:40:52 AM 

Soaring as any raptor will do in the heat of the day
watching two children play in distant sands
feeling the air under wings of grey and white
feeling so light and free yet still hungry

The exstatic joys rising to meet eyes of steel
not knowing life's lesson can be so real
in the flash of a talon around a kneck
in the torn heart wreck of broken dreams

One down and back to the nest 
yet is it enough to fill the request
maybe another heart should come along
swoop slash jab and the second child is gone

taking those hearts now back to my kids
they can grow strong from the deed that I did
is it too late to send out those cries 
into the blue skies of quick good byes

Back on the wing with two hearts in toe
Babies eagles cry for seeing they know
I'v brought two more hearts for our family of four
and when they are gone I'll go get two more
