Rainbows Down Under - Can You Be 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 the mother's 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 that 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 child is okay.
Your baby is in My home
He'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.
