I’ll Run With Courage
by Madeline C.
copyright 06-13-2003


Age Rating: 4 to 127

 
I steady myself to keep from yelping
The nervous beat of my heart is not helping
I grab my sleeping mat
I’m as steady as a cat.
My bible in hand
I pray for a free land.
The path is narrow
I’m as fast as an arrow.
My poor bare feet
The rain is sleet.
I lay down and weep
To scared to sleep.
I hear heavy boots coming
Running and yelling
This may be the end…. no telling.
I run to the beat of my heart
No end and no start.
The voices grow faint
The hearing of saint.
A glow so warm
No cause for alarm.
Just about to wilt
And I see a quilt.
My brown hands and face
Now glow like lace.
I know not to worry.
I won’t need to hurry.
The clue of help
To a house of love
And protection to hide.
Until the next run on
The Underground Railroad.

Madeline, this is really good! The short intense lines gives the impression of urgency, which is very fitting here.
