 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

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 there?
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 there,
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!'
