One Night With Mummy

                                                                        ONE NIGHT WITH MUMMY

A little girl lost her mummy

She died the second she was born

So all through her short life

Her heart it was so torn

She used to pray to the angels

On her knees down by her bed

Just one day with her mummy

Used to fill her head

One night an angel was passing

And heard this young girls plea's

So she went to see the man upstairs

Eager to see if she could please

The angel quaked as she waited

To see the big man in his seat

She told him about the little girl

And her mummy she'd like to meet

God checked his big red book

And saw she'd got a rotten deal

For one night her prayers could come true

Her broken heart he'd heal

The next night while she was sleeping

Her mother walked into her room

And gently held her little hand

Lit up by the moon

The little girl she felt it

And slowly opened up her eyes

She recognised her from a photo

But stifled her happy cries

"Hi my little Princess

Sorry if you got a fright

An angel heard your lonely prayers

So we've been granted just one night"

She gently took her from her bed

And said "Just come with me

I cannot tell you where we'll go

You'll just have to wait and see"

They glided through fluffy clouds

Towards some lights so far away

"You're going to a special place

Where angels go to play"

They landed by a fairground

The biggest one she'd ever see

"We have this all to ourselves

You'll be treated like a Queen"

A smiling angel let them in

There were rides a far as she could see

And to make it extra special

Every one of them was free

All night long they rode the rides

Bumper cars and hook a duck

Spending some time with her mother

She couldn't believe her luck

They had candy floss and toffee apples

And ice cream by the score

They ate and ate till they felt sick

And couldn't eat no more

They went to a side show

Where you knock down all the cans

But she left one standing

So her mummy clapped her hands

A big gust of wind appeared

That didn't make a sound

It gave the can a mighty push 

It landed on the ground

An angels came up and said

"Now you can pick a prize"

The little girl scanned the racks

And couldn't believe her eyes

There were pictures of her mummy

In gold and silver frames

It was the best thing she'd ever won

Because she'd never played these games

But then mummy turned to her

And said "It's time to go

The sun is coming up

I wish time had gone more slow"

Suddenly she was in her bed

With mummy by her side

"I really must be going now"

She opened her arms so wide

The hug seemed to last forever

She squeezed her oh so tight

She gently kissed her daughter

And then wished her a goodnight

She left her dreaming of her mummy

Her image in her head

And standing on her dresser

Was the picture by her bed
