Their Trail of Tears

Their Trail of Tears

Were here in America before us for years;
All the Indians with their hopes and fears;
Were worried;
Had hurried;
While they went down the Trails of Tears.

A short and powerful message of the travel that swept over to shape the trails after sweat and tears. Great write!
