I Lost My Mom 

May 20th. 1999...My mother passed away to a much better, bigger and happier life. Words can not describe how I felt .... simply because words can not describe a mother as well as the loss of a mother, however, I found this poem that represent how anybody would feel when we lose a big part of our life, Sad, Angry, Desperate and Sorry . We all come and go but memories will stay Forever... I miss you Mama !!!

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.

The Image of Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE  ~  My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE  ~  My Mom knows a lot!  A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE  ~  My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.

14 YEARS OF AGE  ~  Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.

16 YEARS OF AGE ~  Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.

18 YEARS OF AGE  ~ That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE  ~  Well, she might know a little bit about it.

35 YEARS OF AGE  ~  Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE  ~  Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE  ~  Wish I could talk it over with Mom
