Did Harriet Tubman Ever Cry

Did Harriet Tubman ever cry? Did she ever bow down on her knees And ask God, Why? Or even get upset because she couldn’t read No, she only stood up and gave a speech Did Harriet Tubman ever weep? Did she ever scream when she had that bullet wedged in her teeth? Or was the moment too mundane When the doctor dug his scalpel through her determined brain No, the water dripping down her face Is only sweat from saving slaves We all need that “Harriet Tubman kind of faith” Did Harriet Tubman ever refuse the call? Decide she will surrender freedom after all? Or did she grab a pistol and dared to shoot At anyone who leaked her sacred route Though her fate seemed dim And the odds were against her “Every great dream begins with a dreamer” For those who need hope or encouragement Please never forget to stand tall and summon Harriet Tubman’s strength
