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

Shes been gone a long long time
She needs to come home now
I really need to reach her
But 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 operaton
I didn't mean to make you cry
Is your tummy hurting too
Is there something in your eye

If I call my church
Maybe they will know
Mommy said when we need help
Thats 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
