Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. 
The child asked God, "They tell me you are sending
me to earth tomorrow, how am I going to live 
there being so small and helpless?"

God replied, "Among all the angels,
I chose one for you, your angel will be
waiting for you and will take care of you."

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

God said, "Your angel will sing for you 
and will also smile for you every day.
You will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

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

God said, "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."

"What am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" 

God said, "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?"
 
God said, "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." 

God said, "Your angel 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."

"God, if I am to leave now, please
tell me my angel's name."
"Her name is not important.... 
you will simply call her 
'Mommy'."
