What Makes a Mother
what makes a mother?
I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today,
I asked what makes a mother,
And 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 it 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 is 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 on earth to learn our lessons
of life and love 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.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair
And kiss her cheek
And whisper in hear 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 in My home
And this is where he'll stay
He'll wait for you with me
Until your lesson is through
And on that day you come home
She'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….
