Mother's Day

The author of this poem is unknown;

Once upon a time there were two twin children ready to be born.

So one day they asked God,"They tell us you are sending us to earth tomorrow but how are we going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God replied, "Among the many angels, I chose one just for you. She will be waiting for you and will take good care of you".

"But tell us, here in heaven, we don't do anything else but smile and sing, that's enough for us to be happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you both and will also smile every day. And you will both feel your angel's love and be happy."

"And how are we going to be able to understand when people talk to us, if we don't know the language that men talk?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will each ever hear and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you both how to speak."

"And what are we going to do when we want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you each how to pray."

"We have heard that on earth there are bad men, who will protect us?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you both even if it means risking it's life."

"But we will always be sad because we will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to each of you about me and will teach each of you the way for you both to come back to me, even though I will always be next to both of you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the children in a hurry asked softly, "Oh God, if we are about to leave now, please tell us our angel's name."

God silenced all fear when He said, "your angel's name is of no importance."

"You will simply call her 'Mommy'."
