MOTHER-IN-LAW

Some think it a dirty word,

And speak of it with malice

As if it rhymed with buzzard

Or other words like callous.

But you have never known

The one that I call mine.

For she is good down to the bone

And I think her just divine.

She is strong and strengthens me

And from her faith I draw.

I can say I love her deeply,

This one called mother-in-law.
