Tough Ties
Dealing with Challenges in the Relationship
In shadows cast by a mother-in-law's disdain,
Cruelty blooms, a thorny garden of endless pain.
Her words, a chilling wind that bites and stings,
Through twisted vines, a toxic bitterness clings.
In every glance, a judgment, sharp and cold,
A narrative of cruelty, callously told.
A daughter-in-law, entangled in a web,
Woven by a mother-in-law's disdainful ebb.
Yet, amidst the darkness, resilience finds a way,
To navigate the cruelty, to endure each day.
For in the heart's refuge, a strength does swell,
A silent rebellion against the oppressive spell.
In this harsh symphony, a woman stands tall,
Defying the cruelty, reclaiming her own call.
For every woman, courage holds her hand,
In life's journey, she's a resilient, steadfast stand.

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.

Then there is the opposite, the evil daughter-in-law. it swings both ways. Yet the poem is wonderfully told. I hope you meet a loving one.
Mother-in-laws are tricky beasts, for sure. And one day, I will be one and hope that I am supportive and non-judgemental.
And that is why I'll never get married. I don't wanna deal with mother-in-laws hehehe. Loved your poem!
