A Better Place
Wouldn't you think that if people cared
and truly believed in a better place
instead of grieving your demise
they'd want you to go to heaven?
Instead they want to keep you around
no matter how great your need may be.
They mourn your loss and say they're sad
and maybe they are to some degree.
I know if I died, tomorrow perhaps,
my family would feel quite bad,
bad that they hadn't taken the time
while I was still alive.
But that's the way it goes
I suppose.
