What Makes A Mother
I thought of you and closed my eyes And prayed to God today I asked, "What makes a Mother?" And I know I heard him say A Mother has a baby This we know is true But, God, can you be a mother When your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can he replied With confidence in his voice I give many women babies When they leave it is not their choice Some I send for a lifetime And others for the day And some I send to feel your womb But there's no need to stay.
I just don't understand this God I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared his throat And then I saw a tear I wish I could show you What your child is doing Here
If you could see your child smile With other children and say "We go to earth to learn our lessons of love and life and fear, but I got chosen by dear God and I got to come straight here!" I feel so lucky to have a Mom who had so much love for me I learned my lessons very quickly before I was set free. I miss my Mommy oh so much But I visit her each day When she goes to sleep On her pillow is where I lay I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek And whisper in her ear "Mommy, Please don't be sad today I'm your baby and I am here"
So you see my dear sweet one Your children are okay Your babies are here in My home And this is where they'll stay They'll wait for you with Me Until your lessons there are through And on the day that you come home they'll be at the gates waiting for you
So now you see What makes a Mother It's the feeling in your heart It's the love you had so much of right from very start.

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it's life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
"You will simply call her, 'Mum.'"
The baby smiled and just as he was about to go he asked ''Will I ever come back?''
God smiled back and whispered'' Sweet child , close your eyes, before you know it you will be back here with me. Im sending you to your Angel for her to learn what true love is and how strong she can be. Your angel will be sad, and cry for you, but on your return you shall be her Angel ..''.
Quickly as earth voices got louder the baby said ''"But I will always be sad because I will not see her anymore..."The baby opened its eyes and the Angel spoke...
"Your my angel and Ill love you forever, and from this moment on we are as one."

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
