A Rose Among Thorns by Amanda J Cobb-tribute to the Cherokees of the Trail of Tears
A white rose for the suffering, a white rose for the pain, a white rose to keep up hope so more don't die in vain.
A white rose for those who've gone, a white rose for our fears, a white rose to lift us up along this Trail of Tears. A white rose for the dead, a white rose for the dying, a white rose to inspire those who've given up on trying.
A white rose for the sick, a white rose for the cold, a white rose against the foes who shared our land of old. A white rose for the children lost along the way. A white rose for the homeland left behind when we couldn't stay. 03/29/2000 Posted on 09/22/2001 Copyright © 2025 Amanda J Cobb
