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
the place to go.
I
found the number to my church
Tacked
up on the wall.
Thank
you operator
I'll
give them a call.
