I'm An Angel Now

One night I cried to Jesus

as I sat beneath the tree

I looked into the open sky

and hoped He'd answer me.

I'm lost, dear Lord, I've travelled far

but still I seem to roam.

Please light the way and lead me, Lord;

I need to get back home.

I told Him of my burdens

and of the sadness in my heart

that from His gracious love

I'd never felt so far apart.

Why did you take my child, Lord?

I cannot understand!

No longer can I touch her face

or hold her sweet hand.

I'm angry Lord, I'm missing her.

I'm drowning in my sorrow.

Please help me to heal my yesterday

and face each new tomorrow.

It was then when I heard her gentle voice

and felt her presence near.

How I wanted so to hold her

as I cried another tear.

She said, "Mom, I'm an angel now,

my spirit will be free.

I'm an angel now in heaven,

so please don't cry for me.

I was chosen by our Lord above

and now I'm in His care.

When you need me, look inside your heart

I promise to be there.

No one can ever take away

our bond with one another.

For I'll always be your precious child

as you will be my mother.

So if you cannot find your way

or the road seems far,

just look up to the Heavens

and I'll be your guiding star."

She said, "Mom, I'm an angel now,

My spirit will be free

I'm an angel now in Heaven

 no need to cry for me."

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 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 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 children are ok.
Your babies are here in My home
And this is where they'll stay.

They'll wait for you with Me
Until your lesson there is through.
And on the day that 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.

They'll be up here with me one day
and know you're the best one
