His Mommy Died Today

His Mommy Died Today
(Please Answer Your Cell Phone Mommy)

This poem is based on true story. Although I didn't personally know this beautiful boy, I was told of this eleven year old's pain over his mother's death. He kept calling his mother's cell phone, after she died, just so he could hear her voice. They eventually had to take the phone from him.

This was years ago, but I must say, as a mom of four boys, this little boy and his broken heart is a part of me now.

To this little boy, probably a man now, I know it is safe to say, "you are loved". God bless.

His Mommy Died Today, Poem Version 

In Truth There Is Love

"In Truth There is Love", by Elvira Amrhein


His Mommy Died Today
(Please Answer Your Cell Phone Mommy)

Written by Barbara Tremblay Cipak, Copyright

His heart is crying, he's so very young,
He doesn't know what a dagger looks like
yet he feels one deep inside his stomach
He cries, his mommy died today,
please answer your cell phone mommy
His breaths are taken between heaving sobs
He's never seen a raging fire,
yet he feels one consuming his spirit
Please answer your cell phone mommy
He's her baby, he needs to hear her everyday
He keeps calling her cell phone number
for that promise made in her voice,
the voice he needs to hear,
Believing the truth as spoken,
that she's just stepped out for a minute,
and she'll call right back
If he could trade all eleven of his birthday wishes for one
he would ask that just this call be answered,
so he could hear,"Hi son, love ya so much sweetie,
I'll be home shortly",but his mommy died today,
So he goes to bed tonight, grasping her cell phone,
as it rests,as she did, on his pillow,
he gazes at the voice trapped inside
knowing it to be the last hug his mommy will give him
Her precious little boy curls up and cries out for her,
Only Her.

A Mother and Son are Silhouetted as They Ride Along the Schuylkill River

His Mommy Died Today, (As Song Lyrics)
by Barbara Tremblay Cipak, Copyright

(V1)
His heart is crying
he's so very young,
he doesn't know what a dagger looks like
yet he feels one deep inside his belly
His breaths are taken between heaving sobs
he's never seen a raging fire,
yet he feels one consuming his spirit

(refrain)
He cries. His Mommy died today.
Please answer your cell phone Mommy
please please oh please
I promise to be good
I know I could,
I have a sore tummy, please, pretty please mommy

(V2)
He's her baby, he needs to hear her everyday
he keeps calling her cell number
for that promise made in her voice,
the voice he needs to hear,
believing the truth as spoken,
that she's just stepped out for a minute
and she'll call right back

("Refrain Repeat")

(V3)
If he could trade all eleven of his
birthday wishes for one,
he would ask that just this call be answered,
so he could hear,
"hi son, love ya so much sweetie,
I'll be home shortly",
But...

(refrain)
He cries. His Momma died today.
Please answer your cell phone Mommy
please please oh please
I promise to be good
I know I could
I have a sore tummy, please, pretty please mommy

(V4)
So instead, he goes to bed tonight,
grasping her cell phone, as it rests,
as she did, on his pillow,
he gazes at the voice trapped inside
knowing it will be the last hug his Mommy
will give him,

(refrain repeat)
Her precious little boy curls up and cries
out for her, Only Her.

    Thank you for writing on the subject of death. In our death denying society we need to face it as a fact of life. We are all in flux, birth, death CHANGE. I gave you five stars.
