The Child’s Guardian Angel
2
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
3
So one day he asked God,
4
“They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow
5
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
6
God replied,
7
“Among the many angels, I chose one for you.
8
She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”
9
But the child wasn’t sure he really wanted to go.
10
“But tell me, here in Heaven,
11
I don’t do anything else but sing and smile,
12
that’s enough for me to be happy.”
13
“Your angel will sing for you
14
and will also smile for you every day.
15
And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”
16
“And how am I going to be able to understand
17
when people talk to me,”
18
the child continued,
19
“if I don’t know the language that men talk?”
20
God patted him on the head and said,
21
“Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words
22
you will ever hear,
23
and with much patience and care,
24
your angel will teach you how to speak.”
25
“I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men,
26
who will protect me?”
27
“Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life!”
28
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven,
29
but voices from earth could already be heard.
30
The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon.
31
He asked God one more question, softly,
32
“Oh God, if I am about to leave now,
33
please tell me my angel’s name.”
34
God touched the child on the shoulder and answered,
35
“Your angel’s name is not hard to remember.
36
You will simply call her Mommy.”
