Trail of tears wash down a river
Speck of sunlight warms my hand
What was lost now longs for Springtime
Freedom from the frozen ground
Crocus buds do burgeon calling
Broken road that leads me home
Trail of tears wash down a river
Speck of sunlight warms my hand
What was lost now longs for Springtime
Freedom from the frozen ground
Crocus buds do burgeon calling
Broken road that leads me home
Wow! That is really nice. Short and sweet with a punch

Everything has its melancholy, right? Even though the path that leads to the light is bringing happy tears.

Lyn, So poignant.
Does this connect to the ‘Trail of Tears’ the Native Americans walked? The beginning of that trail was near where I live in Ohio, and I suspect led out your way! Just another interesting connection…
I hope the sun is shining on you today!
