When it was time to set the table

when it was time to set the table, we were five:
my father, my mother, my two sisters
and me. then, my older sister
got married. then, my younger sister
got married. then, my father died. today,
when it is time to set the table, we are five,
except for my older sister who is
at her house, except for my younger sister
who is at her house, except for my
father, except for my widowed mother. each one
is an empty place at this table where
I eat alone. but they will always be here.
when it is time to set the table, we will always be five.
as long as one of us is alive, we will always be five.

Ah yes, I love this. The love of family never leaves your heart. Memories are a wonderful thing. One day you will all be together again.
