Trail of Tears Looking through the nursery window A proud tear in his eye Trying not to let them flow A deep breathe and a sigh A Band-Aid for her knee And a kiss to make it better To his heart she holds the key And every one of his love letters The front row for graduation Sobbing holding her diploma A car to say congratulations! She off to college in Oklahoma He walks her down the aisle And a with a long hug goodbye For this, he’d have walked a mile She’s on her own now, and needs to fly She looks at the gravestone Thinking about the years And all the love he’d shown Turning, she leaves a trail of tears Marina Mar 9 2000 |

StarrGazer: I think I could have saved myself a lot of time if I had just read your small print."Life begins with a smile,grows with a kiss,and ends with a tear" I think it sums up this poem beautifully! Marina |

Marina. . . I have walked that trail several times myself. . . does it get any easier? I would say that it doesn't . . . but we have to know that we never walk alone. . .

This was quite beautiful, Marina... made me cry. I'm not looking forward to this particular trail of tears in my future but I wish you love in yours. This was a wonderful poem. -molly aka sam "One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time." -Andre Gide |
