You’ve been a Mom to many, That were never quite your own- Offered them stability, A routine and a home… Saw worth without judgment, Took the time to understand- Teaching family values, And what it takes to be a man… Built friendships and trust, Kept silent with room to grow- Had a keen eye for bulls**t, Because a mom “just knows”… Learned along with them, As mother always does- Granted hugs never-ending, No reason- Just because… Saw inside a lonely boy, Who needed mom just then- Showered love and light, With ritual discipline… Your stern hand and laughing heart, ~More than words could ever say~ You are solely responsible- For the man I love today… Just a loving reminder to my mom in law...lucky to have her!!! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

(smiles) Awwwwwww, this is so sweet of you to write such a gorgeous poem for her, sweet friend, I believe with all my heart Mothers Day is not just for moms but mothers-in-laws and moms of all sorts too! (kiss on cheek) I know she will always be so happy to have you as a daughter-in-law just as she is so happy you will always love her son! This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tanya, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I've seen a lot of Mothers-In_law cards but they are always insulting! Nice to see you are proud of yours. I'm very happy for you! |
