To Mother
Looking for a short poem for your mother in law. It has been written that Poet, Edgar Allan Poe, wrote this short poetry for his mother in law.Poet - Edgar Allan Poe
Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore by that dear name I long have called you—
You who are more than mother unto me,
And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you,
In setting my Virginia’s spirit free.
My mother—my own mother, who died early,
Was but the mother of myself; but you
Are mother to the one I loved so dearly,
And thus are dearer than the mother I knew
by that infinity with which my wife
Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life.

More verses and words about mothers:
"Rejecting things because they are old-fashion would
rule out the sun and the moon-
and a mother's love." Author Unknown
"I love old mothers-mothers with white hair,
And kindly eyes, and lips grown softly sweet
With murmured blessings over sleeping babes."
Charles Ross
