Antonio is his name

Antonio is his name

My mother was a virgin and yet she still had me on New Year’s Day.
I was born in a barn in a bushel of hay.
An angel came down and said Antonio is his name.
He is going to go through a lot in his young life, but he is destined for fame.
He is going to be blessed with oracle and literary skills,
And face numerous assassination attempts because his views are honest and real.
But you need not worry he is a child of the Lord’s,
And the angels of mercy will personally protect him from frauds.
Antonio’s life will be one of violence, sacrifice, death, pain, hurt, betrayal, humiliation and struggle;
This will be God’s way of saying “My Son I Love You”
One day he will come to know that when it comes to others, his life was not meant to be the same.
His life will be extraordinary in terms of how he uses is name, fortune and fame.
The Angel then said to my Mother “One day, tell him the story of the day I came”.
“Always let him know that he is one of God’s children and Antonio is his name.”
And with those words the Angel just simple flew away.
We shell meet again, this is what I pray.
“AMEN
