Once
upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
So one day she 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?
Among
the many angels, I chose one for you.
She will be waiting for you and will take good care of you.
But
tell me, here in Heaven I don’t do anything else but sing and smile,
that’s enough for me to be happy.
And
how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I
don’t know the language that men talk?
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?
Your
angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.
I’ve
heard that on earth there are bad men.
Who will protect me?
Your
angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.
But
will I always be sad because I will not see you anymore.
Your
angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for
you 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 already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly:
Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel’s
name.
Your
angel’s name is of no importance; you will call your angel, Mummy.
This story is
dedicated to all loving mothers and grateful children.
