Heaven's Area Code

I tried to 
call you today
but can't get
Heaven's area code

We take things
for granted
Just a simple call
is now no longer
available
communication ceases

I feel abandoned
but not forgotten
I know you are
advocating for me
in the pearly gates
I am sure you 
are busy 
letting St Peter
know I am
worth entry
even though I am not

Time is a predator
it takes
before we can
appreciate what
we have received

Reflecting back
I understand so painfully
how a beautiful influence
you were to all
who knew you

I love you
I miss you
say hello
to pops
I miss him too..............................
