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?
It is 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 give them a call.
