What makes a Mother

I thought of you and closed my eyes

And I 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 is not with you?

Yes, you can He replied,

With confidence in His voice.

I give many women babies

When they leave in not their choice.

Some I send for lifetime,

And others just for a 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 today.

If you could see your child smile

With other children and say:

" We go to the earth to learn our lessons

Of love and life and fear.

My mommy loved Oh so much

I got to come straight here.

I feel so lucky to have a mom

Who has so much love for me.

I learned my lessons very quickly,

my mother set me free.

I miss my mommy Oh so much,

But i visit every day,

When she goes to sleep

On her pillow is where I lay.

I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek

And I whisper in her ear;

Mommy don`t be sad today,

I`m your baby and I`m here"

So, you see my dear sweet one,

Your children are not blue,

Your babies are here in My home,

They`ll be at Heaven`s gate waiting for you.

So now yo see what makes a mother,

It`s the feeling in your heart,

It`s the love you had so much of,

Right from the very start.
