CREATIVE CORNER

Brown Eyes by W. Cliff McDuffie

The trail is long and hard, Leaving their lands behind. Brown Eyes crying, Cast upon the ground.

Their forefathers knew not this way, Had never traveled this path. Tribes forced together, day after day. Brown eyes crying in the rain.

Struggling to Oklahoma Where most have never been. Never to hunt their lands. Or roam their forest glen. Brown eyes crying in the rain.

Some break out and widely roam.

Most are weary of the test. Their spirits broken, seeking rest. Brown eyes crying in the rain.

Trail of Sorrows or Trail of Tears Displaced from their lands For the rest of their years Heads downcast, Brown eyes crying in the rain.
