A Child's Angel

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 how to speak.

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
