The book Moses: When Harriet Tubman Lead her People to Freedom, talks a lot about trust and having faith in yourself and your Lord. Harriet Tubman faces many tribulations and still through her faith and trust manages to save her people and in the author’s note it says she never lost a person. These lines show her trust and anxiety about the trip. This book does not have page numbers so they are not marked.
I set the north star in the heavens,
Lord I am going to hold steady to you.
I am going to see you through.
The hour has come,
Mortals will give you refuge.
I don’t know who to trust, Lord.
I will arm you against your enemies,
Trust me to protect you child.
Use his lessons to be free.
Thank you lord.
Your faith has wings,
I can carry you.
Is this heaven Lord?
Be the Moses of your people.
Save all you can.
Well Done.

I love your poem. I like the quotes you used from the book moses. I had a hard time putting them together and making them make sense, but yours flows really well. Good job!
