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.
When I Think of Bobby {Kennedy}
"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
