Daddy, please don’t look so sad. Mommy, please don’t cry.
'Cause I am in the arms of Jesus and he sings me lullabies.

Please try not to question God, Don’t think he is unkind.
Don’t think He sent me to you, and then He changed his mind.

You see I am a special child, and I’m needed up above.
I’m the special gift you gave Him, the product of your love.

I’ll always be there with you, so watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star that’s gleaming, it’s my halo’s brilliant light.

You’ll see me in the morning frost that mists your window pane.
That’s me in the summer showers, I’ll be dancing in the rain.

When you feel a little breeze from a gentle wind that blows,
That’s me. I’ll be there, planting a kiss on your nose.

When you see a child playing and your heart feels a little tug;
That’s me, I’ll be there, giving your heart a hug.

So Daddy, please, don’t look so sad, Mommy don’t you cry.
I’m in the arms of Jesus now and He sings me lullabies.

Not a day goes by that we don't think of you.
We pray to God to take care of you.

We wonder how it would be,
If you could have stayed here with us.

We long to see your beautiful face,
And let you feel the warmness of our embrace.

We love you with all our heart, and even though we're apart,
Please know that you'll always be in mommy and daddy's heart!

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 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 here.

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, but my Mommy loved me oh 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 lesson very quick, 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 pillow's 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'm here.'"

So you see my dear sweet one, your child is okay. Your baby is here in My home and this is where he'll stay. He'll wait for you with Me until your lesson is through. And on that day that you come home he'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 that you are a Mother until their time is done. They'll be up here with me one day and know you're the best one.
