Where Has Mommy Gone?
Daddy, where has Mommy gone?
She’s gone to heaven, I say.
Will she be coming back?
No, but we can talk to her when we pray.
Why did she have to go, Daddy?
Well, she got sick and God wanted to take her home.
I guess he needed another angel up there,
And your Mommy was just the right one.
But then Daddy, who will be my Mommy?
Well she is still your Mommy, Son, we just won’t see her any more,
But she will be looking down upon us,
And still loving us, for sure.
I will miss seeing her Daddy,
I know, and so will I,
But whenever we miss her too much,
We can just look up to the sky,
And know that she is up there
With other angels who once were Moms
And tell her that we miss her
And are sorry that she’s gone.
Will you be going to heaven too, Daddy?
Well I hope to some day
But first I have a job to do
So I think I’m gonna stay.
What job do you have to do, Daddy?
I have to make sure your Mother’s son, grows up to be a man,
And not until that job is done,
Can I go to see her again.
I promised Mommy I would look after you,
And it’s a promise I mean to keep,
Now say a prayer to Mommy,
And let’s both get some sleep.
Good night, Mommy.
Good night, Dear.
