Question:

Anybody know this poem.. it's somthing like this.. If you get to heaven before I do...?

If you get to heaven, before I do
(says something then..)
just poke a tiny hole, and pull me through.

It's about there being fabric or something seperating us from our deceased loved ones and they author wanting whoever it is on the other side to poke a hole in it to pull her/him through.

My mother recently passed away and my uncle recited the poem but I'd hate to have to ask him to tell it to me again. It was just so beautiful and it really helped dealing with the loss. I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone could tell me the name of it or a website it's on. Thank's in advance.

The corus sounds similar but the rhythm was different on the first answer.
I think what I'd heard was another variation. Thanks

Try this. There appear to be numerous versions of this song, with varying degrees of sophistication, although it doesn't seem all that uplifting to me. Perhaps there are better versions.

CHORUS:

If you get there before I do.
Please bore a hole
and pull me through.
I ain't gonna grieve
my Lord no more.
