Father-In-Law Cares

Love drips from his voice
As he rang me out of bed 
''Hope you guys are fine''   

These words stream my soul
To seconds of sweet silence
I replied, so fine.    

 Another dawn he'll call
Spilling the same syllables
In the same verse form.     


 For Dr.Ram Mehta's contest: 'In-Laws'
