lettertoheaven

I was sitting alone enjoying some sun
Listening to children laughing and having fun
Before I knew it a little girl was at my side
She looked up at me, took my hand and then she replied

I'm writing this letter to heaven I pray
To tell Mommy I miss her since she went away
I'm coming to see her some day I know
But Daddy still needs me so I cannot go.

Will God tell my Mommy that miss her so
I don't understand why she had to go
But Daddy says Mommy still lives in my heart
Although I can't see her, we're never apart

With a tear in my eye, I reached for her hand
Hoping that somehow I could help her understand
God needed a special angel, I gently replied
He took your Mommy to heaven, to be by his side

The little girl handed me a small envelope
Addressed to God in heaven, and these words she spoke
Can you please take this letter, and send it for me
I can't ask my Daddy, it would make him sad you see

My heart ached with sadness, for this little girl I didn't even know
I took the letter from her hand, I just couldn't tell her no
I promised her tomorrow when I went downtown to shop
One my way back home again, at the post office I would stop

She put her tiny arms around me, and hugged me oh so tight
Her big eyes were sparkling, her little face white
She picked up her pencil from the bench we were sitting on
She smiled and waved a quick goodbye, in a moment she was gone

I sat there for what felt like an eternity, wondering if this was a dream
But I held in my hand the letter, no matter how unreal it seemed
I tucked the letter into my pocket, and hurried on my way
But I couldn't help but wonder, about the little girl I met that day

And as I had promised the very next day, the letter to heaven I sent
I never saw that little girl again, I often wonder where she ever went
I know that this all seems hard to explain, some wonder if it is even true
Never doubt what you can't explain, some day it could happen to you.
