This is a poem about Mothers that I really like. I’m not sure who penned it so can’t give credit:

The child 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 waitng for you and will take care of you.”

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 her 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 thought 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.”

God replied, “You will simply call her Mom.”

Thanks Mom. Happy Mothers Day!
