What Makes A Mother 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 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 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 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 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 in My home And that is where she'll stay. She'll wait for you with Me Until your lesson is through. And on that day that you come home She'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 you are a Mother, Until their time is done. They'll be up here with Me one day And you'll know you're the best one. In Memory of her son Zachary Thomas Wasik It must be very difficult To be a man in grief, Since "men don't cry" and "men are strong" No tears can bring relief. It must be very difficult To stand up to the test And field calls and visitors So she can get some rest. They always ask is she's all right And what she's going through But seldom take his hand and ask, "My friend, but how are you?" He hears her crying in the night And thinks his heart will break And dries her tears and comforts her But "stays strong" for her sake. It must be very difficult To start each day anew And try to be so very brave~ He lost his baby too....
