Poems, Old and New - 11. Christmas in Heaven

Please note: This was not written by me and the author would prefer I not name them. It was posted by a friend mine on Facebook last year and I thought with all the death we've seen this year it was appropriate.

*******************************************************************

I wanted to call you today to say I love you,

but your old number is no longer in service.

I tried the operator,

she said "Sorry I have no numbers for you."

I tried to go to your house,

but you don't live there anymore.

The post office has no forwarding address.

I guess Heaven is just too far away.

I love you, I miss you.

You are in my heart always.

Loved ones gone,

but not forgotten.

Merry Christmas to all those in Heaven.
