Freedom,

Restless days,

hard work,

beaten down,

the idea to be freed,

courage, bravery,

she set off,

a breath of fresh air,

but she wasn't done yet,

the strength to go back,

how many can she free,

running, trembling,

determined to make it through,

back and forth,

fighting for what's right,

saving the troubled,

Moses of her people,

Restles days,

Freedom
