does heaven have a phone number?
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.
i found the number to my church
tacked up on the wall.
thank you, operator
i'll give them a call.
hopefully my mummy
comes back to me
