Her eyes, red from crying
Her clothes unkempt
She walks hurriedly,
As if searching for someone,
Or maybe she's just lost?
Stopping at every stranger,
Going about their every day life
"Excuse me, which way is to heaven?"
But they walked right passed her,
Without even glancing her way
They shook their heads,
Just another crazy lunatic,
That they see every day.
But the truth is,
She is not some crazy person,
You don't understand,
She's just looking for her dear little angel,
Who had lost his way.
They say he went to heaven
But that cannot be,
You see, her boy is only seven
He couldn't have gone there,
All by his little self,
She was meant to go with him,
In time, but not right now.
She needs to know which way to heaven,
To bring him right back home.
She has so many things planned for him…
So if you ever see a little boy,
Wandering, somewhere alone,
Please, tell him, urgently
That his Mummy wants him back home.

Well written and so very poignant. Impossible to not lose one's mind under such circumstances.

Love,
