Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
One day the child asked God: 8220;They tell me you are going to send me to earth tomorrow but
how am I going to live there being so small and helpless? 8221;
God replied: 8220;Among the many angels, I have chosen one for you. She will be waiting for
you and will take care of you. 8221;
8220;But, 8221; said the child: 8220;tell me here in Heaven I don‘t anything else but sing and smile.
That‘s what I need to be happy! 8221;
God said: 8220;Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will
feel your angel‘s love and be happy. 8221;
8220;And, 8221; said the child: 8220;how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, If
I don‘t know the language that men talk? 8221;
8220;That‘s easy 8221;, said God: 8220;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. 8221;
The child looked up at God saying: 8220;And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you? 8221;
God smiled at the child saying: 8220;Your angel will Place your hands together and will
teach you how to pray. 8221;
The child said: 8220;I‘ve heard on earth there are bad men. Who will Protect me? 8221;
God put his arm around the child, saying: 8220;Your angel will defend you 8211; even if it means
risking life! 8221;
The child looked sad, saying: 8220;But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore. 8221;
God hugged the child: 8220;Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you
the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you. 8221;
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be
heard.
The child, in a hurry, asked softly: 8220;Oh God, if I am about to leave now Please tell my
Angel’s name! 8221;
God replied: 8220;Your angel‘s name is of no importance 8230;you will simply call her MOMMY! 8221;
有一个婴儿即将出生。
一天，这个小孩问上帝，“他们告诉我明天你将要把我送到地球，不过为什么我在那儿会那么小和无助呢?”
上帝说，“在所有的天使之中，我已经选中了一个给你。她将会等待你和照顾你。”
“不过”，小孩问了，“请告诉我 8211;在天堂我除了歌唱和微笑之外什么都不做。这些是我快乐所需要的!”
上帝说，“你的天使每天将会为你歌唱和微笑。你将会感受到你的天使的爱，你会感到快乐。”
“还有”，小孩又问了，“如果我不懂他们说的语言，当人们对我说话的时候我怎样才会理解呢?”
“这很简单，”上帝说，“你的天使将教会你语言中最美丽和最甜蜜的词语，带着最大的耐心和关怀，你的天使将教会你怎样说话。
小孩抬头看着上帝说，“我想和你说话的时候我该怎么做呢?”
上帝微笑着对小孩说，“你的天使会把你的双手放在一起然后教会你怎样祈祷。”
小孩说，“我听说地球上有坏人，谁将会保护我呢?”
上帝把手放在小孩身上，说，“你的天使将会保护你，甚至会冒生命的危险!”
小孩看起来有些悲伤，他说，“我将会一直感到悲伤因为我再也看不到你了。”
上帝拥抱着小孩。“你的天使以后会一直跟你说有关我的事情，还会教你回到我身边的方法，虽说我一直与你同在。”
在这一刻小孩在天堂感到了无比的安详，不过已经可以听到从地球传来的声音。。。。
小孩有点急促，温柔的问“上帝啊，如果我现在将要离开，请告诉我我的天使的名字!”
上帝回答说，你的天使的名字并不那么重要，你可以简单的叫她―― “妈妈”。
――献给天下所有母亲
