Dining- Room Table

A place where family gather
At a large dining-room table
To eat a meal together
Or to gather and make plans
For the special occasion
That are coming up quckly

A dining-room table
Also used to hem clothes
To answer snail mail
Sit and chat with friends
Or just to read a book
A place to create poetry

Dining room tables are central in a home - many serious, happy and sad conversations take place at this table as well as certain activities like board games. Great poem Dalrene. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

It is sad that the dining room table has become a thing of the past. More people have gone with TV trays in front of the TV.

I have mine piled so full nothing else will fit there, but when I was growing up, at my mom and Granny's homes the dining room table was always a wonderful place for all these things. God bless you

Yes indeed the table is so much more than just a place to eat. It seems to be the center for the family to study, entertain friends, make plans, etc. Great work. God Bless, JB
