She's Back Again: When I Die

Lorraine Roxon Harrison is an agnostic. "I believe there is something, but not a He. I believe in life after death.'' While considering such matters, she wrote this cheerful poem.

When I die I'd like to have my coffin all in white
With roses painted on it and not a wreath in site
I want no flowers bright and fresh to accompany me
Knowing that within one week dead, like me, they'll be.
No mournful black should be worn but colours bright and gay
With friends and family looking good to see me on my way
So if you're around at that time no sadness must there be
'Cause if your sad and miserable, you'll only upset me.
