Mum-in-law
Some people come into your life by name,
but love is what makes family the same.
You may have been my mum-in-law to start,
but you quickly became a mum in my heart.
Through all the years, more than thirty and more,
your kindness was something I always felt sure of.
You welcomed me in with warmth and grace,
and always made me feel I had a place.
You listened with patience, never in haste,
never a moment of love gone to waste.
If worries were heavy or days felt long,
you’d hear every word and help me stay strong.
Your heart was gentle, steady and true,
a caring soul in all that you’d do.
You gave your love without demand,
always ready with a helping hand.
Faith was the light that guided your way,
a quiet strength in each passing day.
Your prayers rose softly into the night,
full of hope and warmth and light.
And when heaven called you home above,
it welcomed a woman so full of love.
Though we must live here missing you,
the kindness you gave will carry us through.
Because love like yours will never depart,
it stays forever in each grateful heart.
And I will always be thankful it's true,
that life gave me a second mum in you.
