A Mother's Conversation With GOD 


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 it 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 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 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 pillows 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 am here" 

So you see my dear sweet one 
Your children are okay 
Your babies are here in My home 
And this is where they'll stay 
They'll wait for you with Me 
Until your lessons are through 
And on the day 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 on earth 
May not realize 
Until their time is done 
Remember all the love you have 
And know that you are 
A Special Mom!

    I went to Clinton's grave last night and sat in the rain and cried. I miss him so terribly!!! I have to keep reminding myself that I know where he is and I would never ask him to leave the beauty and peace of heaven, but I wish he hadn't gone so early...love and hugs...Lynn
