Poetry: Life's paths

by Mona Gallagher

Created on: July 12, 2007

I walk where my ancestors walked
hundreds of years before my birth.
Stones are strewn all around my path,
making difficult, my walk on earth.

I dare not yield to great injustice
placed upon my womanly shoulders.
I will lift my head and sing a song
as I strain against the boulders.

For here is the circle of my life,
on this path I must walk for years,
I share the many sacred footprints
of ani-yunwiya's Trail of Tears.
