I Am A Mother Poem by Sally Campbell

I AM A MOTHER

Tho’never have I traveled far
I have reached the highest pinnacle
Derived from this earth,
I have known love,
I have given love,
In pain enduring
Praising my God
From this body I have given birth.

I have trod the valley low
Deep as in hell tho’ I still breath
To mourn the leaving of my child
To reach toward the Heaven high
For I see him there by our Savior’s side
Hand in hand
And through my tears I smile.
