The Mother of the Family


how is it that the Mother of the Family
is always the shortest, but the one who keeps us
all in line.
Stephen was raised to be a good man so
of course I love this woman,
my mother-in-law, Martha.
For 77, she's as cute as a button,
I hope I look that great when
I'm her age.
I'll take lessons from this Mother
of the Family, she'll teach me
right.

I'm not sure I deserve these accolades, but so thrilled that J has those feelings. Our family has been blessed with many wonderful, strong women who made an impression on me through their joy and selflessness. I know my son has chosen as his mate a woman with the same characteristics. Love and hugs to all my children. M
