A Childs Prayer


Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
So one day, he 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?�
�Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.�
�But tell me, here in Heaven, I don�t do anything else but sing and smile, that�s enough for me to be happy.�
�Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you everyday. And you will feel your angel�s love and be happy.�
�And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don�t know the language that men talk?�
�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?�
�Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.�
�I�ve heard there are bad men. Who will protect me?�
�Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her own life.�
�But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.�
�Your angel will always talk to you and will teach you the way for you 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 already be heard, and the child, in a hurry, asked softly: �Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel�s name�..�
�Your angel�s name is of no importance, you will call your angel: Mommy.�
