What Makes A Mother?

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 its not there 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 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 say…

We go on earth to learn our lessons, of love life and fear.
My mummy loved me so very much: I got to came straight here.

I feel so lucky to have a mum, who had so much love for me.
I learnt 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 pillows there I lay.

I stroke her hair I kiss her cheek, I whisper in her ear,
Mummy don’t be sad today, I’m your baby and I’m here.

So you see dear sweet one, your children are ok,
Your babies are in my home, and this is where they will stay

They’ll wait for you with me, until your lessons are through.
And on the day that you come home. They’ll be at the gates for you.

So 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 realise, until their time is done,
Remember all the love you have, and you know you’re a special
MUM…..
