***Mummy*** (Poem)

Daddy, where is mummy? I thought that you would know, I drew a pretty picture, That to her I want to show.

Daddy what’s the matter? Why have you started to cry? I thought mummy would like the picture, I gave it a nice blue sky.

I know that she was here yesterday, But I’ve looked all around, I can’t find a single trace, Of her upon the ground.

Daddy, where’d our car go? I can’t see it outside, I remember mummy saying, She was going for a drive.

Daddy, what’s happened? Where has mummy gone? Why has she left us? I knew something was wrong.

You say she’s in heaven now, Will she be coming home soon? Is that where she went for a drive? Yesterday’s Sunday afternoon?

You gave me a picture of her, You said it was to remember, But I don’t want this picture daddy, I want my mummy forever.

You say I can’t have her, But God’s taking care of her now, Will God take care of us too? Can I go visit somehow?

I only just understand it, Why did she have to die? But you say that’s what happens, When others drink and drive.
