| The Funeral Procession Painting by Ellis Wilson |
Steady On
Through the ages
They have come ~
Always moving steadily forward
Bearing and keeping their children close
Despite bonds of slavery that chained their ancestors.
“Lord, I’m going to hold steady on to You and You’ve got to see me through.”
~ Harriet Tubman
This poem was from a Victoria Writers Group Exercise: write from a choice of paintings. We were sent a selection of famous paintings by one of our members. The painting I chose was: The Funeral Procession by Ellis Wilson.
I had it scribbled down on a piece of paper I found the other day. No date. However it was a Zoom group, so I believe it was sometime in 2020
