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
