What Makes A Mother?

what makes a mother?


I thought of youas I closed my eyes,and prayed to God today.I asked what makes a motherand I know I heard him say"a mother has a baby,this we know is true.""But God, can you be a motherwhen 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 feel your womb,but there's no need to stay."

"I just don't understandthis God. I want my baby here!"He took a breath and cleared histhroat. and then I saw a tear.

"I wish I could show youwhat your child is doing today,if you could see your child smile,with other children and say..""We go to earth to learn ourlessons 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 quick,my mommy set me free.I miss my mommy oh so much,but I visit her each daywhen she goes to sleep onher pillows where I lay.

I stroke her hair and kiss hercheek and whisper in her ear,"Mommy don't be sad, I'm yourbaby. I'm still here.""So you see my dear sweet one,your children are ok,your babies are here in my home,and this is where they'll stay.They'll wait for you with meuntil your lesson is through.and on the day that you come homethey'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 ofright from the very start.Though some on earthmay not realize you are a mother,until their time is done,they'll be up here with meone day and know you're the best one!"
