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.

Erin,

You are very welcome. Something or someone directed me to your blog that day. I became very emotional when I read your story. And then I remembered a poem that helped me in the past.
Although, I don't feel as if any woman ever truly heals after such a loss, I wish you peace and comfort throughout your journey. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
