O' Dear Daughter In Law...Sweetest Daughter In Law, Poem by Sadashivan Nair

O' dear daughter in law...Sweetest daughter in Law,
A future mother in law too;
For me you are princess from heaven,
Remember your first day, first step in home,
Your bright sparkling face,
Lucid intense Aura you had,
Displayed you were no ordinary woman,
An angel from heaven to enlighten home,
You made our home blissful paradise,
My son is happy, what else I want?
Baby granddaughter reminds son's babyhood,
It's a gift I see your heart in your baby,
I am you when you aren't around,
Feel warmth when taking her in arms,
My hands follow her each stage,
From crawling to walk;
I was lucky watching her first step walking,
I can't forget how valued you are,
When you are exhausted stressed,
Lay your head on my shoulder and weep,
Hug me hard seeking my warmth;
You were brought up in surroundings,
Different from this, yet you attuned well,
Taught us live graceful life;
In most of homes I have seen;
Mother in laws, daughter in laws,
Two stones of grinding mill,
Son of mine - mate of yours,
As piece of grain,
Gets crushed between two;
We both are women have similar thoughts,
Know issues and temper of each,
Solve them when gossip together;
My dear daughter in law,
No...No its mistake,
Should say my dear daughter,
We together can create an example,
How mother in law and daughter in law,
From different vicinity are together as one;
Openness in relationship is way to get closer;
Respect each other,
Credible way of strengthening love;
