~A Childs Angel~

  Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
So one day she asked God: They tell me you are sending
me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there
being so small and helpless? Among the many angels, I
chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will
take care of you.

But tell me, here in Heaven I don't do anything else
but sing and smile and that's enough for me to be
happy. Your angel will sing for you and will also
smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's
love and be happy. And how am I going to be able to
understand when people talk to me if I don't know the
language that men talk?

Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet
words you will ever hear, and with much patience and
care, your angel will teach you how to speak. And what
am I going to do when I want to talk to you? Your angel
will place your hands together and will teach you how
to pray.

I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will
protect me? Your angel will defend you even if it means
risking its life. But I will always be sad because I
will not see you anymore. Your angel will always talk
to you about me and will teach you the way for you to
come back to me, even though I will always be next to
you. At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but
voices from earth could already be heard, and the child
in a hurry asked softly: Oh God, if I am about to leave
now, please tell me my angel's name. You will call your
angel Mommy.
