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 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’ll know.
Mummy 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.
