A time of sorrow for the Cherokee

They Linger Still

by BethShelby

                         
                         Ghosts of ancestors 
                                    Wails echoing in the wind
                                                Tread the trail of tears

The Trail of Tears winds its way through Chattanooga going west. When I visit my daughter, I'm on it for a little way. I always imagine how sad these people must been when forced to go to a far away reservation leaving thier homes behind.
