An ancient legend
tells of an unborn child who one day said unto the God ... "I
am told you are sending me down to Earth tomorrow, but how will I live there,
if I am so small and weak?".An ancient legend
tells of an unborn child who one day said unto the God ... "I
am told you are sending me down to Earth tomorrow, but how will I live there,
if I am so small and weak?".
God answered: " ... among the many angels, I have chosen one to care for you"
"Please tell me then, here in Heaven, all I do
for my happiness is sing and smile, can I do these there as well?"
"I will send you an Angel, who will sing and
smile for you everyday, and you will feel happy with the songs and smiles".
"How will I understand when someone speaks to me, as I do not know the strange language mankind speaks?"
"An Angel will speak to you the sweetest and most tender words that humans can understand. The Angel will teach you."
"What
will I do when I wish to speak with you?"
"An Angel will join your little hands and will teach you a prayer."
"I have heard that on earth there are bad men? Who will protect me?"
"An Angel will protect you, even at the expense of its own life."
"Yet I will always be sad Lord, because I will
not see you anymore. Without seeing you I will feel very lonely"
God replied: "... an Angel will always speak of me to you and will show you the way to return to me."
At that moment, an immense peace reigned in Heaven, and no earthside voices were heard. The child repeated quietly: "Tell me its name Lord, tell me its name ..."
And the Lord replied .... "Mother".

On a recent trip to the island of Trinidad, I visited the St.Clair Medical Center near the capital Port of Spain. On the wall of the maternity ward I saw a Poster with these beautifully written words, by an Anonymous author.
A little message came rushing in saying ... "Copy this so as to share it with all Children and Mothers"
