Lois Williams Carter

my mother-in-law

was the ideal

she loved my children

laughed at their cute ways

took them on walks

listened to them

encouraged them

always she would say

"I just pray for them every night."

and I believed her

this petite, sure, spunky lady

believed in prayer

now she is on the other side

cheering for us

wanting us to be faithful and true

we all miss her

we all really miss her
