Anne Rutherford Poet Senryu

Best Mother In Law

she lived far away 
the phone to communicate
first question asked


always check weather
then how are you doing now
a happy response


want her back again
two weeks for pleasure visit
wished for us again

Andrea Dietrich June 6, 2011 at 9:05 PM you are very fortunate to have one like this. Congrats in the contest. I just saw the response you gave me below on my first comment. I have one daughter in law and she seems to really like me. The key is to just act like a friend with them and not get into their business!
