Trail of Tears


Sing, oh sing of lives lived
… in joyful adventures
… in trying undertakings
… in carefree moods
… in restless moments


Sing, oh sing of lives lost
… to forcible nature’s furies
… to split second numbness
… to pushed body-soul limits
… to devious human feats

Logic and science attempt to explain life
Faith and compassion embrace and mourn it
For whatever indiscernible cause
Living life and losing it simply brings tears

In dying and living …
We choose to celebrate or mourn
In living and dying …
We choose to feel and sustain
In living and dying …
We leave behind legacies
In dying and living …
We imprint our hopes and dreams

Sing … breathe … live!
