Who Do I Call?I had a little accident today, I hurt my tummy and my knee! I needed it kissed better, And I need my mummy you see! But my mummy went to heaven, When I was only three! I didn't want her to go, Because I needed her here with me! So I tried to find my mummy, I need to phone her in heaven, So I phoned the operator, Cos I am only seven! I told the operator… That I need to see my mum, And told her that I fell down, And I had an aching tum! 'Can you find me the number?' I asked, 'Because you see, I need my mum to make it better, She has a magic kiss for me. Tell me operator... Is it in this yellow book? The telephone number to heaven, I can't find it when I look.' 'Operator are you crying? Are you hurting too? Is your mummy in heaven? Don't you know what to do? Can I phone her in heaven? Do you think I will get through? I really need my mummy! And I don't know what to do?' 'Oh, I found this piece of paper! Pinned high upon this wall, It's for my little church, I'm going to make a call. My daddy always told me, My church would help me out, And I can I say a prayer to God, If ever I'm in doubt!' 'I think my daddy misses her? And he can't find Heaven for me, He said that God took her away, When I was only three! I sometimes see a tear… In my daddy's eye, His face goes red and sad, And then he will start to cry.' 'Operator I'm going now! But I hope that you feel better, And if heaven doesn't have a phone, Try sending God a letter!' Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem |
