Heaven (not mine)

Does heaven have a phone number?
Mummy 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.
I simply don't know how.

Help me find the number, please.
Is it listed under "heaven"?
I can't read those 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
Tacked up on the wall,
Thank you operator
I'll give them a call.
