Dear Mom,
I can't know how terrible it must have been
the day you realized what trouble you were in.
As I started on my first steps of life
I never knew the anguish and strife
that you were putting yourself through
wondering what in the world you were gonna do.
I nestled all warm and secure
close to your heart, I was sure
this must be like heaven so safe and sweet,
as I wiggled my fingers and moved my feet.
Little did I know that very day
you were throwing my life away.
I screamed and I cried,
"I don't understand; God has entrusted
my life in your hands.
If you tear me away, how can I ever be
all that God intended for me?
I want to see rainbows and whistle a tune,
I want to pick flowers and gaze at the moon,
I want to run and laugh and play;
but most of all, I want to grow up someday!"
As I cried, "Dear Mom, what are you gonna do?",
all of a sudden, I was cold and scared and bruised.
Mom, you laid very still
and made not a sound, but from inside
I could hear your heart beat and pound.
I heard someone say
"It won't be long now", and suddenly
a multitude of angels gathered around.
They picked me up so tenderly
and wrapped their soft warm wings around me.
As I felt the cold sharp stabbing pains
they ushered me out of my dangerous home
to a place called heaven, where I am never alone.
There are many others here just like me,
but God has promised us safety throughout eternity.

So, Mom, I see now as the years roll by
you've examined your motives, and wondered why
you threw me away so cruelly,
without even getting to know me.
Mom, you must be strong and carry on;
although you took so much from me
I'm now picking flowers by the crystal sea.
I run and laugh and play each day
I sing with the Angels and give God all my praise.
He lifts me up into his strong arms
and gives me the love I so much deserved.
I only hope someday  you'll see
you can spend eternity with me.
Although you took my life away
God will forgive you if you only pray
and ask him to, and what a change
you'll see in you!!!
Mom, you were the one left alone that day
for the angels were waiting to take me away.
Never since have I felt rejection or pain...
you've suffered all that, and probably much more
I'm sure the demons of guilt knock
often at your hearts door.
But, Mom, just because you never knew me
nor learned to love me in a motherly way
it doesn't take one bit of my love for you away.
I'll be waiting in heaven for you someday;
and I'll be the first to hug you
and show you the way
We may not have shared the beauty your world knew,
but I'll share all the glories of heaven with you.
Mom, I love you and wait for the day
we can be together again
as close as we were
when you held me safe within.
