Dear Mommy up in heaven, <br />you’re always in my mind. <br />I wish that you could tell me <br />why you left so much behind. <br /> <br />You left your bunny slippers, <br />fuzzy pink with big long ears, <br />and when Daddy holds your picture <br />he’s sad and cries real tears. <br /> <br />Your clothes are in the bedroom, <br />you left your perfume, too, <br />and when I need you close to me <br />I go there - it smells like you. <br /> <br />You must hum a lot in heaven. <br />Daddy says he thinks you might. <br />Sometimes I think I hear you <br />when I shut my eyes real tight. <br /> <br />I miss your hugs and kisses, <br />you took most of them with you, <br />but I’m glad you made me save some <br />in my jammy pockets, too. <br /> <br />Me and Daddy miss and love you <br />and we don’t mean to make a fuss. <br />I guess you loved us both so much <br />that you left your stuff for us.<br /><br />C.J.
