Tomorrow's Footsteps
Walking, Walking, keep walking along,
walking, walking, been walking so long
Footsteps forced back on the sorrow road
Chains dragging the dust a heavy load
Bloody marks on tomorrow's road
Walking, Walking, keep walking along ...
Master caught a runaway
Tomorrow my son rise another day
Rise up my brothers free today
How do they hold the line so long?
How do they hold the line so strong??
With Denmark Vesey the line is long.
With Harriet Tubman walking along.
With John Brown's body marching along.
With Frederick Douglass the line holds
strong.
Footsteps joining from everywhere,
Heading for justice and getting there!
This i what i see when i read this poem ^
5 words and why
Tomorrow,
Free,
long,
Strong,
I thought these words because they show how this person described what they saw and what they saw in there mind. Most of these words describe the meaning of bravery and perseverance. All these words are said in a way that describes a person or a goal.
