Place A Fork In My Hand


She found out she was dying
called her preacher to her side
She had planned her funeral carefully
and smiled at him with pride

She said I've one more request
place a fork in my hand
The Preacher just looked at her
but failed to understand

You've eaten at fancy Restaurants
 kept your fork when you were done
awaiting that wonderful dessert
knowing the best was yet to come

Let my friends and family see me
with a fork tucked in my hand
and when they ask you why
you can make them understand

Well that day finally came
friends and family all filed by
The Preacher just stood there
with a tear in his eye

When they were finally seated
He said I know your asking why
there's a fork tucked in her hand
as we say our last goodbye

She asked me to do this
it was her last request
to show she had it wonderful here
while waiting for the best.

The best my friends is Heaven
thats what she wanted you to know
the fork was to assure you
to Heaven she did go

I got this from a story a friend sent me in an email
