SonnetForMyDaughterInLaw

A Sonnet Written to my Son's Bride

 On Thursday morn the plane departs from here
 to touch the ground where you and he will wed
 then ends the years of my maternal care
 If care is limited to food and rides and bed.

 Connection between he and I began
 nine months before I heard his summoning cry
 throughout the years the bond between us, grand
 with laughter, learning, hopes and joys and sighs.

 Love does not end because he's got a wife,
 instead, another home across the miles
 a place of welcome, here, to lessen strife
 and give you both refreshment from life's wiles.

 The two of you to me become as one
 Beloved wife of my beloved son.
