Barbecue

When fate locked in our eyes

And unlocked was my guise

In yours? Gratitude for the sunrise

For today it would warm your bed

And this is the image in my head

As I see the fire on the barbecue

What today is like for you?

My friend who fought for us…

Do you even know its label

When I sit down at the table

And force a prayer out for you

It seems like the right thing to do

And like so many, my heart is lost

When you lie in winter, covered in frost

And so when I see the flame light up today

I can’t help but think about you and the winter

And

Perhaps a fire burning in a barrel is your friend

But if we pray we can tell you in the end

You will be with God, again

And cement will not be your pillow

But you will hear the breeze frolic through the willows

And feel those sunshine rays galloping in at every direction

Because now you are at Sacrifice’s intersection

Of Heaven…

Heaven who knows your name

Heaven, overjoyed to see you again

Heaven, where the barbecue is for you

And the only thing you have to say or do

Is nothing

Because faithful servants, this Banquet is for you
