The Angel
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?"
God said,
"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 its 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."
God said, "You will simply call her, "Mom."
God said,
"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
