Daddy Went To Heaven

Daddy went to Heaven, but I need her here today,
My tummy hurts and I fell down,
I need him 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 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 eleven.
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 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.
