what really can I say
her Daddy passed on
he lives today
at our age
born in the 40s and 50s
we pretty much know
what it is like, for us when a
a parent passes away
but what do we feel
when we have a friend
who's also a best
sister-in-law
and her Daddy passed today
I want to tell her
how much I love her
and how good she's been
to me
I want to tell her that
her love shines brightly
for all of us to see
I want to tell her that the love
she gave to her parents
was wonderful and free
I want to tell her that although
his love was quiet and steadfast
it was no less there
for her now and in the past
her Daddy was extraordinarily loved
blessed with a long marriage
and a long long lfe.
his children lived near him
and graced his entire life
be comforted my dear Linda
that he was a very blessed man
because he lived a decent life
and was surrounded by a
large and decent family
and now he joins his wife
and because he had his family's prayers
his entire life
her Daddy lives today

what a nice gift of a poem to give to your sister-in-law. It is like giving flowers "Flowers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestows them" (chinese proverb), and so it is also true of poetry, but with poetry it is feelings.
