The Daughter
I Found In You
We didn’t have much choice, you and I.
I, the mother you’d only just met,
And you, the daughter I barely knew;
Still, we both loved the same man,
That gave us something in common.
And, so we tried.
I was ready to be a mother-in-law,
And, you, I’m sure,
Were willing to TRY.
And, then that day, not very long after we met,
I found that we could laugh at the very same things,
And that we could argue and not get mad;
That you really KNEW, and loved my son,
That his joy of life was complete in you.
I found your wit, and your goodness,
I found your character and your beauty ,
Most of all I found your loving heart.
I found a daughter, a gift to me from my son.
