Where Did Mommy Go Poem by Stephen Morris

We walked through the cemetary like so many times before,
Me and my little girl, with the flowers from the store,
As we sat down by the grave, and laid the flowers down,
She grabbed my hand and said to me, with the saddest little frown,
'Daddy, where can mommy be, where has she gone, every time we
Come to see her, she is never home, we buy her flowers, and
Talk to her, but she always makes me pout, cause no matter what
We say to her, she never will come out'

As the tears filled my eyes, I wondered what to say, our baby girl
Turned three years old just the other day;
She looked at me with the sweetest eyes, and waited for my reply,
And as I said these words to her, I couldn't help but cry;

Baby, your mommy has gone away, she lives with Jesus in the sky,
And she can not come back again, but please don't you cry,
She watches you everyday, and she sees you run and play, she loves
You so very much, and will see you again one day;

Just how do you tell a child that her mommys gone;
How do you tell her she can never come back home;

Three years ago from yesterday, God gave us a gift of love,
Angel blue eyes, the sweetest smile, like a dream from above;
The doctor said that she was fine, that she would be ok,
But then he grabbed my hand and said, but your wife has
Passed away;

Thank you God, for my sweet daughter, thank you in every way;
But why, oh why, please tell me why, did you take her mom away?
Can't she stay a little longer, we didn't even say goodbye,
They placed my daughter in my arms, and we both sat there
and Cried;

Our angel has gone to heaven, to be an angel for us all,
All we have are memories, and the pictures on the wall,
But I swear sometimes at night, as I watch our baby sleep,
Like a miracle of love, I feel her mom there with me,
Watching over her sweet daughter, watching over me,
Until our time here passes by and we once again are three;
