A True Believer

Dappled twilight shadows
Canopy of oak and mulberry leaves
Glints and glimpses of sunlight
Ominous conversation of slave catchers
Scared whispers of ones who seek freedom
Praying God will answer their prayers
Led by Harriet Tubman a true believer
Who relentlessly leads people
To the promised land
