What would you be like?

I was struck by inspiration while doing some school work (which happened to be a unit on poetry).

The flower arrangement from our wedding in memory of Bertha.

What would you be like?

Written by Julie L. Moritz on March 16, 2010

For my mother-in-law I never met, Bertha Mary Elizabeth Moritz

(March 25, 1940 – August 27, 1996)

I never got to meet you,

So I wonder,

What would you be like?

I’ve been told about you, Mom.

That you’d love me

And that I’d love you.

But still I wonder,

What would you be like?

I’ve seen some pictures

And have met your family

I also love and married your oldest son.

I know you seen our wedding

From heaven above

And with my family that is there, too.

But still, what would you be like?
