I thought of you and closed my eyes, And prayed to God today.
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 feel your womb but there's no need to stay
I just dont 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 who say:
We go to Earth and learn our lessons of love and life and fear
My mummy loved me oh so much I got to come straight here
I feel so lucky to have a mum who had so much love for me
I learned my lessons very quickly my mummy set me free
I miss my mummy 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
Mummy dont be sad today I'm your baby and I'm here
So you see my dear sweet one your children are OK
Your babies are here in my home they'll be at heaven's gate for you
So now you see what makes a mother its the feeling in your heart
Its the love you had so much of right from the very start
Though some on earth may not realize you are a mother until their time is done
They'll be up here with me one day and you'll know that your the best one.
