Mommy went to
Heaven,
but I need her
here today,
My tummy hurts
and I fell down,
I need her
right away.
Operator can
you tell me
how to find
her in this book?
Is heaven in
the yellow part,
I don’t know
where to look!
I think my
daddy needs her too,
at night I
hear him cry,
I hear him
call her name sometimes,
but I really
don’t know why.
Maybe if I
call her,
she will hurry
home to me;
Is Heaven very
far away,
is it across
the sea?
She’s been
gone a long, long time…..
she needs to
come home now!
I really need
to reach her,
but I simply
don’t know how.
Help me find
the number please,
is it listed
under Heaven?
I can’t read
these big, big words,
I am only
seven.
I’m sorry
operator,
I didn’t mean
to make you cry,
Is your tummy
hurting too,
or is there
something in your eye?
If I call my
church
maybe they
will know;
Mommy said
when we need help
that’s where
we should go.
I found the
number to my church
tacked up on
the wall,
Thank you
operator,
I’ll just give
them a call.
