Before, Now and After?

I’ve always wondered why most people believe so strongly of a ‘Life in the Hereafter’ yet scoff at the notion of a ‘Previous Life’..

I asked Him, "Could I have lived before?"

And He replied with laughter,

"There has to have been a Before

or there could be no Hereafter!"'

Then He added, "I have fun hiding the Past

And the Future I will not tell, but you can bet,

This life will not be your Last!"
