Thomas "Bubba" Draher

Gone Golfing

If the round should start without me

because I have passed away 

Cherish the swings that we once made

 and please continue to play

For I’ll be watching from a gallery

 with a magnificent view

 With friends and family from the past

 all cheering with pride for you

May each tricky putt find the hole

your drives fly far and straight 

And when you’ve taken your final shot

 let’s meet at the Pearly Gates

I’ll have tee time booked in Heaven

 on the grandest course of all

 And we’ll go golfing once again

 chasing that little white ball.
