The sky was clear and bright and blue with sun,
Over the tents of Indian tribes, that shone,
Whose life appeared as normal and kept on;
With Eagled shadow’s coming, all seemed gone!
Was it an eagle that heralded death?
Was it a sign of impending, a doom?
Was it a giant bird that came by stealth?
Was it “High Tech’s’ experiment of gloom?
God cares for every creature that He makes
With endless love, finesse and much concern;
With Maker’s nod, some lives are gone – He takes!
Why He allows, no man can ev’r discern?
Like seasons, change our hopes and joys and woes;
But faith protects all creatures from all foes!
