I asked, "Oh God, what makes a mother?"
Did you think I would not make a good one?
I know I heard him say….
A Mother has a baby, this we know is true
You still are a good mother, Brooklyn
Please don't be so blue.

But God, I asked "Can you be a mother when your baby is not with you?"

"Yes you can" he replied with confidence in His voice.
I give many women babies
When they leave, is not their choice.
Some I send for a lifetime
Others for a day
Some I send to feel your womb
There's just no need to stay.

With my tears washing my face
I look up and say
I just don't understand this God
I want my Brandy here with me

As He looks down upon me
I see His own tear
As He says to me
My child I wish I could show you
What Brandy Lynn is doing today

If you could see her playing
So happily with all the other children.
If you could hear her voice
This is what she would say…

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 miss my mommy oh so much
But I visit her everyday
When she goes to sleep…
On her pillow is where I lay
I stroke her hair
I kiss her cheek
I whisper in her ear
Mommy don't be sad today
I'm your baby, forever and a day.

A smile begins to form upon my face
As God looks at me and says
So, you see my dear child
Brandy is Ok
She will wait for you, here with me
Until that day when you come home.
Greeting you at my pearly gates
Wearing her sweet smile
Saying "I love you mommy"

So now you see what makes a mother?
It's the feeling you still have in your heart
The love you had so much of
Right from the start.
A mother is a mother because of her love
And that, my child lasts for ETERNITY
