Once upon a time there was a child ready to
be born. So one day he asked God:
They tell me you are sending me to earth
tomorrow but how am I going to live there
being so small and helpless?
Among the many angels, I chose one for you.
She will be waiting for you and will take
care of you.
But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do
anything else but sing and smile, that's
enough for me to be happy.
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.
And how am I going to be able to understand
when people talk to me, if I don't know the
language that men talk?
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
And what am I going to do when I want to
talk to you? Your angel will place your
hands together and will teach you how to pray.
I've heard that on earth there are bad men.
Who will protect me?
Your angel will defend you even if it means
risking its life.
But I will always be sad because I will not
see you anymore.
Your angel will always talk to you about me
and will teach you the way for you to come back
to me, even though I will always be next to you.
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven,
but voices from earth could already be heard,
and the child in a hurry asked softly:
Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell
me my angel's name
Your angel's name is of no importance, you
will call your angel: Mommy
