Special Table

Special Table

 

In a bit of creativity

We built a special table

It celebrated someone special to me

when I was young and able

 

Through the years we polished it

And it stood strong many days

For birthday parties and anniversaries

And the many meals we ate

 

There were family talks held there

As we discussed our lives

From his being out too late

To the tears when daddy died

 

We used it daily many years

Though I don’t know where it went

We somehow lost it as we moved

And we haven’t seen it since

 

If it showed up at an antique store

Collectors would pass it by

Unknowing of its history

And importance in our lives

 

Should the table ever be found

I would buy it for my son

And trust that he would polish it

While he is able and young
