TABLE SET FOR TWO: Inspirational stories
<p>
A woman, by her husband's bed, <br>
Could only watch as he slowly died.<br>
With tears streaming down her face she cried,<br>
"Are You here God? Tell me why?!"<br><br>
"Sweetheart", her husband uttered, <br>
"I have something I want to say to you...<br>
Remember that night I asked for your hand, <br>
At that table just set for two?"<br><br>
"Of course I do," she replied, <br>
"That was the happiest day of my life.<br>
You were so nervous that you cut your steak, <br>
Using the butter knife!"<br><br>
He wiped the tears from her tired eyes, <br>
Kissed her hand and then gently smiled.<br>
"Remember the talks on those long walks, <br>
When it seemed we'd go for miles?"<br><br>
She grinned at him as she touched his face.<br>
"Yes, so please don't ever leave me!"<br>
"I won't my love," he softly replied, <br>
"And so there's something I want you to see."<br><br>
With all the strength that he had left, <br>
He took a picture off the bedroom stand.<br>
"When I'm gone please look at this," <br>
As he placed it in her God-sent hand.<br><br>
She never got to say good-bye, <br>
As her husband had passed away that night,<br>
But she had the picture that he'd given her,<br>
And to this she forever held tight.<br><br>
While years have passed,<br>
The yellowed photograph reminds her of his smile<br>
And the talks and those long walks, <br>
When it seemed they'd go for miles.<br><br>
The picture is of him and her, <br>
The one that led to her saying, "I do."<br>
It was taken by a waiter one night, <br>
At that table just set for two.
