Another Quick Inspiration that will tug at your heart

Does Heaven have a phone number?
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 this 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 for 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 her 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 can my church, maybe they'll know how
Mommy 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.

I think this is one of the most, innocent, heart-wrenching poems I've come acoss. Innocence is bliss.
