A Phone Call to Heaven
Mikayla Littman, 2020
What I would give
Just to hear your voice
One more time
To tell you everything you have missed:
Your children’s celebrations and achievements
If only I could tell you
Who I am
Who I want to be
What scares me
What makes me happy
If you called,
I’d ask so many questions
Knowing so little time
We’d have on the line
To tell you about
8 years of tears
8 years of smiles
You missed my laughs and dreams
You’ve missed my difficult miles
But phone call or not
I know you
With me will be
Where ever I go
If You Listen Closely
