The Path

Dreary days and endless nights
we walk the path of the unknown
cold and alone,minds filled with wonders of what's beyond
 Wrapped tightly in sheepskin and babies in papooses 
close to mommas heart
 The elderly in poorly constructed carriages,illness sets in
along with the agony of leaving them behind
 Sadly we are forced to move ahead
to a destination feared to have no end
 No time to bury our loved ones
or time for our shamans works
just walking the path of the unknown
 With bleeding feet and broken spirits
and fear of no survival
 we can only pray that we can be strong
and the gods will forgive us for leaving those behind
and there spirits moved beyond
 No one will ever know the tears that were sent
nor the pain that we endured
 We can only teach today
and hope the people on that trail
who were lost and survived
will forever be remembered in everyones heart.
