"What Makes a Mother?" (or Father)


 What Makes A Mother?

I thought of you all, I closed my eyes
and prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother
and I know I heard him say,

"A Mother has a baby.
This we know is true."
But God can you be a Mother
when your baby's not with you?

"Yes you can!" He replied
with confidence in His voice,
"I give many women babies,
when they leave is not their choice."

"Some I send for a lifetime
and others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb
but there's no need to stay."

"I just don't understand this God,
I want my baby here."
He took a deep breath and cleared His throat
and then I saw a tear.

"I wish I could show you
what your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile
with other children and say.."

"We go to earth to learn our lessons
of love and life and fear.
My mommy loved me oh so much
I got to come straight here."

"I feel so lucky to have a Mom
who has so much love for me
I learned my lesson very quick
My Mommy set me free."

"I miss My Mommy oh so much
but I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep
on her pillow's where I lay."

"I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
and whisper in her ear,
Mommy don't be sad today
I'm your baby and I'm here."

"So you see my dear sweet one,
your children are OK.
Your babies are here in my home
and this is where they'll stay."

"They'll wait for you with me
until your lesson is through.
And on the day that you come home
they'll be at the gates for you."

"So now you see what makes a Mother.
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of
right from the very start."

"Though some on earth may not realize
that you are a Mother until there time is done
They'll be up here with me one day
and know you're the best one."

Remembering...



Sawyer Jameson Schultz and Tristan Milton Schultz

On Friday, February 1st, two lovely boys were born to Trae and Cyndi Schultz:  Sawyer Jameson Schultz (at 6:43pm) and Tristan Milton Schultz (at 6:52pm).  Sawyer and Tristan were a blessing for Trae and Cyndi for almost six full days before their Heavenly Father called them home.  On Thursday, February 7th Sawyer and Tristan entered the nearer presence of their Lord.  During this extraordinarily short time they were adored and loved by their parents and other family members gathered at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center.  All grieved their passing; they will be sorely missed.  Sawyer and Tristan are loved and survived by parents Cyndi and Trae Schultz; grandparents Mary and Philip Young, and Sharon and Milton Schultz; and a great grandmother Jeanne Marie Tacy.   In addition the following family members also closely followed the short lives of Sawyer and Tristan:  Mandy and Paul Young, David Young, Carrie and Todd Smith.  Many other family and close friends also sent their love and best wishes.  A celebration of the lives of Sawyer and Tristan was held at St. Martin’s Lutheran Church on Saturday, February 9, 2013.  The family request, in lieu of flowers, contributions are made to either Threads of Love (3503 Lovage Dr.  Austin TX, 78727), or the March of Dimes (www.marchofdimes.com/texas).  The family requests that all donations be in the name of Sawyer Jameson Schultz and Tristan Milton Schultz.  The family gives heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the staff of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, including all the nurses and doctors of St. David’s North Austin Medical Center.
