A Phone call home.

I'll be back before long,
Don't worry.
Mommy will be okay.
Mommy just needs you
To stay strong
While she's away.

Mommy loves who?
You?
That's right.
Now show me that you'll be okay
Without a hug tonight.

Please don't cry,
I'll be home soon.
Mommy's not going to die.
Just sit on the couch
And watch Teletoon.

I have to go,
But just so you know
I love you,
And your sister and brother too.

Tonight just look up in the sky
And wish on the stars for me.
And if I die,
I'll be up there
For you to see
From almost anywhere.
