Harriet's Purpose

by Shirley Francis-Salley — Read all 2 poems by Shirley Francis-Salley

A poem I wrote to teach children that everyone has a God given purpose, even children at their tender ages.

Harriet's Purpose

Have you ever seen a railroad without a track,
Or a train to run upon it?
There was such a thing a time ago
And slaves fled to freedom on it.

The conductor’s name was Harriet,
Mrs. Tubman, if you please!
She ran the “Underground Railroad”
Through woods full of shadows and trees.

She helped slaves escape to freedom,
Right from under their masters' noses.
She led them to the “Promised Land”
That’s why they called her Moses.

Why did Harriet Tubman take on such a dangerous task?
What would make her do it? Some of you might ask.
The reason that she did it? God gave her that job to do.

That was Harriet's PURPOSE,
And God's got one for YOU too!

"I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD.
Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
