Poems From My Heart To Your Eyes

HEAVEN

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.

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.
