My father-in-law
A professor he
Says a poet
I can never be
Although in print
I may be
I do not have
A college degree
 

{This should have been in my first book, Shadows of footsteps,
I don’t know how I left it out.}...

in this silence
the respirator breathes…
we did not know
his heart
was
still




*Inspired by Brian Strand's, Indelible Impressions contest. This was written the day after my 
Step-father-in-law passed away...he passed while we were in the room....

The father-in-law with his threats.
"Take care of my girl or your dead."
A dance with dad, as he whispers
to his little girl; "I love you.
I will always be here for you."

Dad hid sad tears behind a smile
as she took another man's name,
Daddy's little girl was grown-up.

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.

Who was she? I asked for she had evaporated in front of us.
“Brighid, Mother of Ireland,” said a familiar voice.
It was my father-in-law. He frequents this pub daily.
“How do you know?” I asked him.
“Saw her sixty years ago; she looks the same. Never ages.”
I decided to look her up after that, and I was not disappointed....

 On your wedding day

 you exchanged your rings and vows

Many years later..   Still together


 Commemorating and Celebrating

 
The gift , The blessing , The exchange


Of  lives and hearts.

I had a talk with a loved one.
You love Kool-Aid flavors of pink lemonade, cherry, lemonade, or grape.
He thinks you are ugly and referred to you as a prime mate ape.
Not wearing a wig. In stature you are big.
Never in your life have you lived in Hong.
You ex-father-in-law raised his shoulders in mock charade, comparing you to King 
Kong....

If one’s mother-in-law is  a woman Hitler, the father-in-law might be a fatal whiner!

Horrible women are sure to abuse
the spouses who bow and scrape to such shrews.

Merciless, malicious, manipulating matriarchs make mere mortal meek men miserable.

Train whistle
I think of Dad. He loved them so
Coyote comes to visit almost to my front porch
That’s Daddy too

Smell of smoke.
My father-in-law Dwight is here.
Cupboards slamming now
With no person in the kitchen, my mother-in-law, Helen.

I await my mother’s presence
Wondering how she will make herself known
She has not been gone long
Maybe still resting...

Thankyou soupers...

I want to express my gratitude
 to all of you who prayed ,or in other ways 
thought of my father-in-law
during his heart surgery, last Wednesday
The surgery was a success.
He's been discharged from  hospital today.
To follow are eight weeks home recovery
But the worst is over,and I'm thankful
to  all of  you who showed care and concern.
Thankyou and our good lord,amen : )...

God is the chief justice,his laws solutions

In the law making world of dreams,six people population

Father in law,mother in law,in the absence of children 

Son in law,daughter in law, in the absence of parents

Brother in law,sister in law,the law making relations

One law to other law,no any blood connections

Mother in law vs daughter in law,a long pending action

No court prepared to deliver a decision!...

Happy birthday to a fine
young man, who has  been
a fine son-in-law and
a great husband to my
daughter.  Amy knew
how to pick them, when
she chose you to be her husband.
You are so lucky to have Brandon
for a son, knowing how you
were brought up, he is in fine
hands with you and Amy as his
parents.  So hoping this day
brings you everything you
wished for and more and to
tell you how proud I am to be
your father-in-law on your very
special day.
