A Mother In-Law A Mother Poem by ritty patnaik

i

in you i see the zest to live
all your life you did give
an epitome of love and
will so strong
god made you live so long.
to see happy....sorrow
around you here,
god bless you mother dear !

giving death a strong fight
as she lies here night after night
honourable innings
of ninety years she played
her love for her own,
made her heart bled.

oblivious now to her present state
yet present in her world at best
she loved and cherished
all her life,
yet life became an utmost strife


children grand-children
gather around her,
unbearable to think
of life without her.

for each she had a special thing
like an angel in beautiful wings,
her heart so loving, dear to all
mother, grandmother, mother in -law
you are our all in all.
