Parents Go To Heaven Poem by Ima Ryma

Little Susie's dog, Spot, had died.
Mom and Dad were trying hard to
Console Susie who cried and cried.
Mom and Dad weren't sure what to do.
Later on Spot could be replaced,
But now how best to explain why
The life of Spot had been erased.
It just came time for Spot to die.
So Mom and Dad went the God way,
Telling Susie that Spot had gone
To heaven, where good Spot would stay,
A pet for God forever on.

Susie cried out, still in a fog,
'What does God want with a dead dog? '
