My Husband's Mother

My Husband's Mother
This is one of my most popular, most loved, poems. It is a gift for a mother-in-law. Someone once asked me why I chose this title. My answer was this: The term Mother-in-law tends to have a negative connotation, and I wanted this poem to have a "loving aura." It is a poem in which a wife is thanking her mother-in-law for having done such a wonderful job raising her son. The wife, of course, was the beneficiary, because her husband was a kind and loving man...raised by a beautiful, compassionate mother.

Remember Me

Remember Me
I wrote this poem for a friend who had lost her Mom. It is difficult to write poems in memory of the departed, because (at least for me) my goal in writing is to bring some sense of peace and solace to those left behind. With this poem, I tried to encourage my friend to focus on the happy times she shared with her mother, and I also wanted to leave her with the hope that one day, they would have a chance to meet again.

A Place Called Home

A Place Called Home
When my first-born went off to college, I was missing him terriblly. I wrote this poem to let him know, that if he became lonely while he was away, all he had to do was find a quiet place and think of home...and we too, would be thinking of him.
