Jacob Lawrence's "Harriet Tubman"-1940
God and The General
Grains of sand pound in my
head…hammer and anvil…Lord, is there time for more?
“Wake up, wake up…the
winter’s almost over…get on board.”
Bounty Hunter and his hellhounds give
chase…what shall I do Lord?
“Wade in the
water…friend of a friend…wait.”
Lord, thank you for wakin’ me up this
mornin’…do you see my troubles?
“I set the North Star
in place for you, Minty…get on board.”
Cayenne pepper, quilts, candles,
songs…prayers to see us through.
“I have never lost a
passenger.”
I will run and not grow weary!
“There is time for more
and The Truth will set them free.”
Inspired by...Harriet "The General" Tubman...a "conversation" between Harriet Tubman and God...God's words in bold print...Luke 15:3-7
