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 is not with you? Yes, you can He replied, With confidence in His voice. I give many women babies When they leave is not their choice. Some I send for a 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 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 mommy 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 you 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. Though some on earth may not realize you are a mother, Until their time is done. They’ll be up here with Me one day, And they’ll know you were the best one!

I love and miss you my angel baby
