I think Camp Barnabas
Has prepared me
For motherhood

Until now
I've never understood
How built I am for service
For helping
For loving

Today,
A camper pulled my hair
He pulled it by the fistful
And he pulled hard

Yet as I walked away
All I felt was
Overwhelming love

I know now
That there is no pain
My future child
Could inflict on me
No disrespect
No heartache
No late night tears
That could ever stop me
From loving them abundantly
