An eagle often symbolizes strength, courage, farsightedness and immortality.
It is considered king of the air and invincible against all other birds
Symbol of strength, courage, regal bearing
and of a nation’s immortality
Bald eagle soars high in all eagerness
Savoring its invincibility
Its strength emblazoned in its entirety
Policing below entire regions
For a common cause of tranquility
Commands a view of peaceful assertions
