It is such a blessing to have a a mother in law that is so much more!

As you opened your presents
And blew out the candles

I watched, remembering
Years gone by
Other cakes and happy faces
So many no longer with us

Here you are
In your ninetieth year!
In your eyes I see the past
Holidays and birthdays
Christenings and parties
But most of all
I see the glue that
Has held this family together

You son was my life
And you have been my mother
For most of my life
To say I love you
Is not enough
To show you how much I care
No matter what life
Threw at us
You were always there

You are so much more
Than a mother in law
And words will never convey
Just what I want to tell you
No words will ever say
You are a rare gem
To be treasured
Mother, I love you
Happy Birthday
