The Table

This table was bought without special intentions.

And yet, as I sit here and look at it, I can't help but think back with the memories that it holds. 

It was bought in a clearance center, with money from a small wedding gift fund.

And at this table, dishes were passed, desserts were served and wine was poured. 

At this table card games were played, along with board games too.

At this table gifts were wrapped, christmas lists were made, and bills were paid. 

At this table late night conversations were had, along with lots of laughter. 

And at this table tears were shed, pleas were made, and secrets were discovered. 

At this table early morning coffee was had as frantic searches were made for more secrets. 

At this table insults were hurled and disbelief and pain sank in. 

And this table was put back together in a new home. 

At this table hands were held and resolve set in. 

At this table jobs were searched for and applications sent in. 

At this table crafts were made and play doh was formed. 

At this table laughter was heard again. 

And at this table dishes were passed, desserts were served and wine was poured once again.
