Does Heaven Have A Phone Number ?

  Daddy went to Heaven, but I need him here today,

                                                My tummy hurts and I fell down, I need him right away.
                                                Operator can you tell me how to find him in this book?
                                               Is heaven in the yellow part, I don't know where to look.
                                               I think my mommy needs him too, at night I hear her cry.
                                               I hear her call his name sometimes, but I really don't know
                                                               why.
                                                   Maybe if I call him, he will hurry home to me.
                                                Is Heaven very far away, is it across the sea?

                                             He's been gone a long, long time, he needs to come home now!
                                                I really need to reach him, 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 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.
                                             Daddy said that 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.
 
 

The Lonely Cemetery

Out in a lonely cemetery
where breezes gently blow,
there lies a dear and precious one
we loved and treasured so..
Precious is the one who's gone;
a voice we loved is still.
A place is vacant in our home
that never can be filled.
We think of them in silence,
and often say their name.
But all that's left to answer
is a picture in a frame.
To her their voice,
and see their smile,
to sit and talk awhile.
Dear God, please take this message
to our loved one up above
tell them how much we miss them
and give them all our love.
It broke our hearts to lose
that sad and lonely day
But they did not go alone
For a part of us went with them
the day that God had called them home.
 

For Those I Have Left Behind

I have not gone far...I still see...
Those tears you shed...are for me...

I am not unhappy...I am not sad...
I just thank God...For all we had...

I did not choose...To go away...
But God told me...I couldn't stay...

He reached for me...with loving care...
Come with me child...If you dare...

Reach out your arms...to those below...
Blow them a kiss...So they will know...

Let the breeze of your kiss... Pass across their brow...
Let them know you are safe...and happy now...

Now dry your eyes...And remember me...
For where I am...Was meant to be...

To you that I have left behind...
The love we've shared...Will always bind...

If a breeze should pass...Across your brow...
Remember from where it came...And how...

Until we meet again one day...
I've not gone far... I am just away..
