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 God 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 woman babies, when they leave is
not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime and others for the 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 deep 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 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 lessons 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 child is okay.
Your baby is here in My home and this
is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with Me until
your lesson's through.
And on that 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.
Though some of Earth may not realize
until there time is done.
Remember all the love you have
and know that you are a
Special Mom.
