There we were sitting at the table,
My wife and I,
Just chatting drinking our coffee,
When suddenly applause rang out.
I looked across at another table
And a young couple sat there,
The smile from the young lady was infectious.
She was clapping,
Happiness shone from her face,
And all around her.
I smiled at her,
She smiled back, so happy,
So obviously in love
With the man sitting across from her.
I wonder what he said to her
That created such a wondrous reaction,
It was a joy to behold.
The thought did come to me though
It was the first time that I had been applauded,
Just for drinking my coffee.
