Someone from the Waynesboro "Broken Hearts" support group sent this my way.

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 it is not their choice
Some I send for a lifetime and others for the 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 Here

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,
but My mommy loved me 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 lessons 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 is where I lay
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek And whisper in her ear
"Mommy, Please don't be sad today I'm your baby and I am here"

So you see my dear sweet one Your children are okay
Your babies are here in My home And this is where they'll stay
They'll wait for you with Me Until your lessons there are through
And on the day that you come home they'll be at the gates waiting 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
