Did I Neglect To Say

We have been blessed with the perfect daughter-in-law. We watch her with our grandchildren as she showers them with hugs, kisses and smiles. She’s up in the morning as she tends to their every need before preparing herself for a full day at work. I remember once she told me, she wasn’t a morning person, well I tell you those two cuties have changed that. Maybe we don’t tell you dear how proud we are to have you as a daughter-in-law and maybe you aren’t praised enough for the job you do so well at. Just in case I have neglected to say, I need for you to know, You are the greatest Mom in the world and those two beautiful children will always love you for all you are.

Did I Neglect To Say

Did I forget to tell you dear,
Did I neglect to say,
You are the perfect Mother,
You show your children everyday.
You always know how to treat them,
You seem pleasant all the time,
And I’ve noticed when you discipline,
You even do that kind.

Your eyes they show the pride you hold,
For when you hold them tight,
I know that you are loving them,
With all your might.
I watch you as you play with them,
No such thing as no,
Even when your day was long,
You just go with the flow.


 I watch as you look in their faces,
The love they return to you,
This is their little way of repaying you,
For all the loving things you do.
You work all day & then come home,
Tend to meals, no time alone,
You entertain them with a smile,
Accepting their ways of a child.

Bath time’s near the food is done,
Mom’s run down but the kids want fun,
Soon they’ll lay their heads to sleep,
Won’t hear from them till morning’s peep.
Good morning Mom, it’s time to rise,
Full of energy, still sleep in their eyes,
Exchange kisses and one big smile,
They’re only small for a very shot while.

[the last line it should be 'short' rather than shot...]


this is a really beautiful piece.
i think there are so many things we neglect to say to those we love.
it seems to be some kind of human condition from what i can gather.
but this defies such a condition.
which is beautiful.
i think we need to be more aware of praising those we love.

the second thing it does is proves that not all mother-in-laws are scary XD

i hope you did show her this one...

Rose this is powerful, and the utmost in gratefulness to your daughter-in-law. As a daughter-in-law myself I can surely tell you this beautiful work will have her heart soaring.
Just makes one feel all warm and snuggly inside!

What a beautiful write - the love you have for Karen and the kids certainly shines through. And I am sure she is aware of that. Knowing you like I do - its not hard to tell when you are loved by you. Love ya, Mom.

A great tribute to a great mother, and yes I think we all tend to neglect to tell not just our daughter in laws but all parents that are struggling to be good parents that it is noticed. Think I will tell mine to day too. Thanks for sharing Cuz.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my latest poem. I thought I'd pop into your den to return the favour and I'm so glad I did. What a lovely, loving write. It comes straight from the heart of a woman who obviously cares deeply. Your love of your family really shines through. Looking forward to reading more of yours.
