The Misguided Mother-in-law

The Misguided Mother-in-law

Such a happy three were we

Whatever we did was together

We always wanted there to be

A bond that lasts forever

We looked forward to someday

When a wife and children would enter his life

Never guessing that his vertebrae

Would soften beneath a clinging wife

I never meant to dominate

Just wanted to retain a small share

A little time to coordinate

Some visits scattered here and there

It may seem somewhat dramatic

When I say my heart was ripped in thirds

But my pain is symptomatic

Typical of other stories I have heard

Dear Lord if I am wrong please guide me

Is there a way this can be repaired

There is an empty space inside me

Lord, I'm lonesome and so scared
