I Wonder

what my parents are doing now 
that they’ve been in Heaven 
for over 30 years
did they get the mortgage paid 
or did they have to refinance 
for an upgrade to a bigger cloud 
do they have a good retirement plan 
maybe they’re taking that 
‘Haunt the universe’s most fantastic places’ 
cruise they’ve always dreamed of 
perhaps now they’ll have time to garden 
and spend more time with the grandkids

Seriously, time down here is the preparation for the time up there. We pave the way for what awaits us...

You're probably correct although it would be possible.
