Mother In Law

She never understood... the pain her words inflicted. Year after year the comments came.... like salt poured in an open wound. She never understood before... the damage it has done... I hope some day she will...cause this isn't any fun. To all her friends and kin... about her son...there was no end of praises... it seemed he could do no wrong... why he must be ole Abe Lincoln. He has grown to be so strong... and where there once was rage... he's mellowed out...there is no doubt. There has been a lot of changes... I wonder what his secret was? Could it be...why surely not... there must be some mistake... to the message that you got. Why it's the one who stands beside him who filled his heart with love. It was then they both realized... they fit together like a hand and glove. The Lord said how you judge others... will return in spades to you... when you least expect it...so be careful what you do. You will look into the mirror... what you've accused others of... your own needs now far passed. There's nothing wrong with giving praise... it really can be quite healing... just remember when you leave one person out... then self worth you could be stealing. When friends your introducing go on and on about all the great things you say your sons done... his mate...she waits to hear...with some small hope... even a crumb of some excitement that their worth anything at all. It takes courage to keep on trying to care... and love yourself and others...while the walls around you... seem to fall like rolling thunder. So before you get to be that person's private judge and jury... take a moment to self reflect... go on...your in no hurry. P.R. Deremer
