When God Created FathersWhen the good Lord was creating fathers, He started with a tall frame. A female angel nearby said, “What kind of father is that? If you are going to make children so close to the ground, why have you put the father up so high? He will be able to shoot marbles（弹子游戏） without kneeling, tuck a child in bed without bending, or even kiss a child without a lot of stooping（弯腰）.” And God smiled and said, “Yes, but if I make him child size, who would children have to look up to?” And when God made a fathers hands, they were large and sinewy. And the angel shook her head sadly and said, “Do you know what youre doing? Large hands are clumsy. They cant manage diaper pins别针, small buttons, rubber bands橡皮筋 on pony tails马尾, oreven remove splinters碎片 caused by baseball bats.” God smiled and said, “I know, but they are large enough to hold everything a small boy empties from his pockets at the end of a day, yet small enough to cup a childs face.” Then God molded long slim legs and broad shoulders.The angel nearly had a heart attack. “Boy, this is the end of the week, all right,” she clucked. “Do you realize You just made a father without a lap? How is he going to pull a child close to him without the kid falling between his legs?” God smiled and said, “A mother needs a lap大腿. A father needs strong shoulders to pull a sledge雪橇, balance a boy on a bicycle or hold a sleepy head on the way home from the circus.”God was in the middle of creating two of the largest feet anyone had ever seen when the angel could contain herself no longer. “Thats not fair. Do you honestly think those large boats are going to get out of bed early in the morning when the baby cries? Or walk through a small birthday party without crushing at least three of the guests?”And God smiled and said, “Theyll work. Youll see. Theyll support a small child who wants to ride a horse to Banbury Cross or scare off mice at the summer cabin, or display shoes that will be a challenge to fill.” God worked through the night, giving the father few words, but a firm authoritative voice; eyes that see everything, but remain calm and tolerant. Finally, almost as an afterthought, He added tears. Then He turned to the angel and said, “Now are you satisfied that he can love as much as a mother?” And the angel shut up.A Poem by an Unknown AuthorOnce upon a time there was a child ready to be born.One day he 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 the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.But tell me, here in Heaven, I dont do anything else but sing and smile, thats enough for me to be happy.Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angels love and be happy.And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I dont 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.Ive heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?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.Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard.And the child in a hurry asked softly: Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angels name.Your angels name is of no importance, you will call your angel: Mommy.A Mothers LoveThere is no love, like a mothers love,no stronger bond on earth.like the precious bond that comes from God,to a mother, when she gives birth.A mothers love is forever strong,never changing for all time.and when her children need her most,a mothers love will shine.God bless these special mothers,God bless them every one.for all the tears and heartache,and for the special work theyve done.When her days on earth ar
