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's 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 for a day.
And some I send to fill 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 that 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 me oh so much I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a Mom, who had so much love for me.
I learned my lesson very quickly. My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much but I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep on her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek and 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 okay
Your babies are here in My home and this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with Me until your lesson is through.
And on the day that you come home they'll be at the gates 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.
