I think of you whenever I pass a donut shop. I see you making coffee And hovering over the dozen, Making a game out of picking a donut. I think of you whenever I put up Christmas lights. I see you in front of the church, Stringing lights on the cross with The agility of someone half your age. I think of you whenever I sit in Bible class. I see you with your legs Sprawled out on the pew, Asking great questions and Leading thoughtful discussions. I think of you whenever I see your grandchildren Running around in the sun, Enjoying the life that you gave them. I think of you whenever I think of heaven, and I know That’s where you are, having Coffee and donuts up in heaven With your Maker. Hallelujah!

Now you're having breakfast with God
I think of you whenever I pass a donut shop. I see you making coffee And hovering over the dozen, Making a game out of picking a donut. I think of you whenever I put up Christmas lights. I see you in front of the church, Stringing lights on the cross with The agility of someone half your age. I think of you whenever I sit in Bible class. I see you with your legs Sprawled out on the pew, Asking great questions and Leading thoughtful discussions. I think of you whenever I see your grandchildren Running around in the sun, Enjoying the life that you gave them. I think of you whenever I think of heaven, and I know That’s where you are, having Coffee and donuts up in heaven With your Maker. Hallelujah!
Written in memory of my friend Pat, who recently suffered a fatal heart attack.
