A baby 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?"
"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child further inquired, "But
tell me, here in heaven I don't
have to do anything but sing
and smile to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for
you. And you will feel your
angel's love and be very happy."
Again the child asked, "And how
am I going to be able to
understand when people talk to me if I don't know the
language?"
God said, "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?"
God said, "Your angel will place
your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will
defend you even if it means
risking it's life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you
anymore."
God said, "Your angel will
always talk to you about Me
and will teach you the way 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 be
heard and the child hurriedly
asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's
name."
"You will simply call her,
'Mother'
