MY MOTHER IN HEAVEN

Hello God, I called tonight To talk a little while I need a friend who'll listen To my anxiety and trial.
You see, I can't quite make it Through a day just on my own... I need your love to guide me, So I'll never feel alone.
I want to ask you please to keep, My family safe and sound. Come and fill their lives with confidence For whatever fate they're bound.
Give me faith, dear God, to face Each hour throughout the day, And not to worry over things I can't change in any way.
I thank you God, for being home And listening to my call, For giving me such good advice When I stumble and fall..
Your number, God, is the only one That answers every time. I never get a busy signal, Never had to pay a dime.
So thank you, God, for listening To my troubles and my sorrow. Good night, God, I love You, too, And I'll call again tomorrow!

This little known gem has been successfully ignored for too long. I am hopeful the DVD version will finally become available soon. As with all good movies, the promotion and casting are never the real reason fo success as much as whether the story and direction can create a psycological tie to the viewer. This one excelled for me in many ways.
The exquisite soundtrack had it all. One of the first to use popular songs from a by-gone era to create a nostalgia, and the haunting "Elmo's" theme that Timothy Hutton develeoped throughout the re-incarnation portion was brought to a head beautifully in the closing scene. I was brought to tears in the reunion ending. It still gives me the chills each time I see it. This Neal Young tune "We Never Danced" was treated wonderfully.
Another fine aspect of this film that is a mystery is the casting of the character "Emmett". I believe it is Debora Winger, but I could be wrong. I assumed the character to be either Micheal the Arc-Angel or God, but certainly not the devil. He (or she?) is definitely in control of Heaven and souls. I was also very delighted to see the vignettes by Tom Petty, Neal Young and Ric Ocasek.
I urge everyone to see this when it becomes available.

"The Boots"
Seeing my brother stand before me With hundreds of others Fresh from the war I noticed something particular The boots on his feet Were nothing more than holes and tears Revealing hardships of what had become Of the peacefulness that never was Or will be because nobody will let it be What it should be which is nothing But the holes and tears in the boots That will never be fixed

" For You "
Your heart has held me close like your hands do keeping me safe away from the world heartless and cruel until I will break free and be on my own I will remember the late nights spent together with you, my mother
