If You Die Before Me

If you should die before me
I know in Heaven you will be free, but...
If you're allowed to come back here
Let's have a plan to say you're near, maybe...
Like tracks in the snow but that could be a deer
Unless you have a choice what you look like in Heaven, and...
The only selection left was a deer--# seven--lucky 7 (!) 
Or a loud knock on the front door, no, so...
probably not, I would pee on the floor and
maybe more...

How about a whisper in my ear, well no, I might forget that was one of our signals and think a bug crawled in my ear and start frantically hitting my ear in case the bug is still alive then go get Q tips or some baby oil and, by that time you'd probably have to leave
unless you now had the capability of zapping ear bugs just in case it really was a bug, like maybe you learn to do that when you're dead, like a --I CAN DO THIS SINCE I'M DEAD list---Like a TO DO LIST --but not really...

Or you rearrange the house while I'm running
Nope, not a good idea, the burglar alarm
would start humming, no bueno...
Or would it ???????????
Change of plan, just stay up there
I will get with ya sooner or later 
But, if there REALLY is an animal list
And the only one left is an alligator
I'll be coming sooner than later !!!!
AAARRRGGGG !!!!!!

Very well written and expressed, Jeanie... I like your more humorous take on the notion of life after death. I do hope we see our loved ones again, in some form :) I wrote something similar to this titled, 'If I Died Today'.
