High Above Tower Hill Poem by Francis Duggan

High above Tower Hill in the calm morning sky
A pair of wedge tail eagles circle as they fly
A male and the larger female an amazing sight
Their dark brown wings gleaming in the morning sunlight
A wonder of Nature to live in memory
And a sight one is not often privileged to see
Australia's largest raptors soaring in the southern sky
The words noble, graceful and beautiful to them does apply
It is a fact of Nature and facts never lie
For them to live in Tower Hill smaller creatures must die
Survival of the fittest as some like to say
The prey for the predator this is Nature's way
The soaring eagles a beautiful memory till death that with me will remain
And that i will re-visit again and again.
