IS HEAVEN IN THE YELLOW PAGES?

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?

She's 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 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.     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 went to a party, Mom, I remembered what you said.

    You told me not to drink, Mom, so I drank soda instead

I really felt proud inside, Mom, the way you said I would.

I didn't drink and drive, Mom, even though the others said I should.

I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you are always right.

Now the party is finally ending, Mom, as everyone is driving out of sight.

As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece.

    Because of the way you raised me, so responsible and sweet.    

I started to drive away, Mom, but as I pulled out into the road,

the other car didn't see me, Mom, and hit me like a load.  

As I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policeman say,

The other guy is drunk, Mom, and now I'm the one who will pay.

I'm lying here dying, Mom.. I wish you'd get here soon.

  How could this happen to me, Mom? My life just burst like a balloon.  

There is blood all around me, Mom, and most of it is mine.

  I hear the medic say, Mom, I'll die in a short time.

I just wanted to tell you, Mom, I swear I didn't drink.

  It was the others, Mom. The others didn't think.

  He was probably at the same party as I.

The only difference is.... He drank and I will Die.

Why do people drink, Mom? It can ruin your whole life.

  I'm feeling sharp pains now. Pains just like a knife.  

The guy who hit me is walking, Mom, and I don't think it's fair.

  I'm lying here dying and all he can do is stare.

Tell my brother not to cry, Mom. Tell Daddy to be brave.

  And when I go to heaven, Mom, put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.  

Someone should have told him, Mom, not to drink and drive.

  If only they had told him, Mom, I would still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mom. I'm becoming very scared.

  Please don't cry for me, Mom. When I needed you, you were always there.

I have one last question, Mom, before I say good bye.

    I didn't drink and drive, so why am I the one to die?

Please Think Before You Drink! Don't Drink And Drive! If you DO.. Give your KEYS to a FRIEND!..Thank You.Your Friend..Plectrum
