FOR MAMA

 

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, 'Mom.'"
