I watch her ,you 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 unknown pains as she tucks you safe inside her once again. |

Well-put, and expressing all the things that daughter-in-laws deal with!! Yes....this is excellent, and I think I will go back for seconds! This should take it's place at the top! Live...Love...Be grateful for both!! |

Sharing anothers joys , you have touched tenderly a topic little caressed through word of mouth Helen.& put to paper a piece to be proud on. |
