Mother’s Day Poems – Mother’s Day by Kody Welch
Mom I know we’ve been through a lot
But to this day I have not forgot
All the things you have done for me
Opening my eyes and letting me see
All the rights and wrongs in life
And help me battle my everyday strife
To know your love is a great feeling
Thinking of it helps me with dealing
And on this special day
I will always say
That I love you in each and every way
You are the perfect mother for me
And no matter what I want to be
I know you will always be there
To show me that you care
I hope this touches a special place in your heart
Because no matter what I shall never part
I Love You Mom in so many ways
And today is for you mom, your special day.
Mother’s Day Poems – Mother O’ Mine by Rudyard Kipling
If I were hanged on the highest hill,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
If I were drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
If I were damned of body and soul,
I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
Mother’s Day Poems – Motherhood by Helen Steiner Rice
The dearest gifts that heaven holds,
The very finest, too,
Were made into one pattern
That was perfect, sweet, and true;
The Angels smiled, well-pleased, and said:
“Compared to all the others,
This pattern is so wonderful
Let’s use it just for Mothers!”
And through the years, a Mother
Has been all that’s sweet and good
For there’s one bit of God and love,
In all true Motherhood.
Mother’s Day Poems – To My Mother by Christina Rossetti
Today’s your natal day,
Sweet flowers I bring;
Mother, accept, I pray,
My offering.
And may you happy live,
And long us bless;
Receiving as you give
Great happiness.
Mother’s Day Poems – When I Was a Small Child by Joao de Leon
When I was a small child.
you held my hand and smiled.
When I got hurt I would cry.
you would giggle and dry my eye.
life has difficult decisions and you were my guide.
you taught me how to decide.
you told me that the bad should be denied.
and that family should never be put aside.
when I was a small child.
I was a little wild.
as I grew I’ve done a few wrong things and it’s true.
there’s a lot of things I’ve wanted to tell you.
and when we have problems we always make it through.
but one thing that I want you to know is that
I LOVE YOU.
Mother’s Day Poems – Only One Mother by George Cooper
Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky,
Hundreds of shells on the shore together,
Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
Mother’s Day Poems – For All Women in My Life by Malcolm Yendaw
How can I thank you for your support,
For the guidance, prayers and help of all sorts?
So much you have done that I could never repay,
All I can do is to honour you in this noble way.
Kind, caring and loving is who you are.
May the blessing of the Lord propel you far.
You took me in as a son and showed me love,
And for that I think of you as an angel from high above.
Knowing you are in my life makes me proud.
Your advice for me leaves me sound.
You have supported me to this end;
You’ve been my Mom and my Friend.
I am who I am today
Because you showed me the way.
For being a mother to me above all odds
I say you are the BEST MUM in the world.
God Bless you in every way
And Happy Mother’s Day!!!
