God found He needed the most perfect life
to nurture a child...

He gave but only a few the gentle
    hands to wash away the
       tiniest of tears.
He then shared a warm kiss
    with such magic, that this, in itself
       could brush away a boo-boo.
He produced a voice that could
    lull the anguish of a dark night
       with an unconditional love
       and a lullaby to hush them into
       a beautiful dream-filled slumber.
And finally He gave each one
    powerful arms to hold a child tight
       and build its future ahead.
Their eyes were then witness to
    His greatest gift, a child's life.
       And with that right...

He named her Mother.
