I watch her, your mother,
Touch your arm.
I watch her,
Circling round your space,
never far.

You are mine,
have ever been.
Before  we were,
We were in His scheme.
But she has never relinquished of her hold
And this I know
As we grow old
That you are hers
And always will.
A mother's love?
A wife's?
A son's ?
You are hers when
All's said and done.

I move away and let her have those secret thoughts;of giving life ,of suckling lips,of all the unknown aches and pains as
she tucks you safe
inside her once again.

Yo Boshii2,

I know nothing at all about your Mother-in-Law.  I do know mine was a wonderfully, wise, kind, generous, and forgiving woman.

My she rest in peace.

Bobby

You show great sensitivity through these quite impressive words.
