Mommy Went to Heaven

Author Unknown

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

for 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

Thank you operator,

I'll give them a call.
