Abigail's Place

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.

One day he asked God: "They tell me you're sending me to earth
tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God replied: "Among the many angels, I chose one for you.
She will be waiting for you and 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 also smile for you everyday.
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 heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?"

"Your angel will protect you even if it means risking its life."

And at that moment there was much peace in heaven,
but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child
in a hurry asks 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."
