This Table You Made For Me
This Table You Made For Me
This table that I treasure is not made of any polished glass, metals, or woods
But has withstood each of our four wonderful sons' imaginative childhoods.
This table that I treasure is not made of hickory, walnut, or cherry
But has hosted fabulous feasts for festive together times for all to make merry.
This table that I treasure is not inlaid with rarities or trimmed out ornate
But had the perfecting craftsmanship from you who still used a handshake
To seal an agreement or finalize a deal or as an initial test of character.
This table that I treasure was made for me in my fantastic past chapter
When our family dinners outside were no ordinary, monotonous meals
Where water pouring led to water soaring, soaked clothes, and boisterous squeals
Where inside meals meant many loved ones laughing and smiling though squished
Where blessings and food were gifts from our good God, more than we ever wished!
