Old Wooden Kitchen Table
Through the years there Had been many conversations Around the old wooden kitchen table, Family, friends, feelings, finance,
futures, Laughter, tears, sorrow, and all the
board games, This one was different, quiet – almost
hushed - the type Of one way conversation that instantly
leaves you numb, hanging In an empty place that you have never
been before, mentally trading all There is for tickets back to the days
before you sat down for this conversation, It’s strange how a doctor’s request for
more medical tests for the one you’ve loved Forever is like
running face first into an invisible solid rock wall, perhaps it was the
one in One hundred phrase that triggered it
all and left everyone white knuckle gripping the old wooden
Kitchen table. Stephen Nesbitt ©
