A Newborn's Conversation with God

A baby 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?"
God said, "Your guide will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven
I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."

God said, "Your guide will sing for you and will also smile for you.
And you will feel your guide's love and be very happy."

Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able
to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your guide will tell you the most beautiful and
sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your guide will teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your guide will place your hands together
and will teach you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your guide will defend you even if it
means risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your guide will always talk to you about Me
and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even
though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven. Voices from Earth could be faintly heard and the child quickly asked
"God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my guide's name."

God said,
"You will simply call her, Mommy."
