But only one mother the wide world over.

A short but interesting poem about how a Mom got her kids moving. This could also be interpreted as a Mom encouraging her kids to go for whatever they dreamed of.
Poet: Zora Neale Hurston
Mama exhorted her children at every
opportunity to "jump at the sun."
We might no land on the sun,
but at least we would get off the ground.

Poet: Dena Dyer
Sometimes I wonder-
what kind of example
am I leaving my children?
What will they write on my tombstone
or say about me after I'm gone? . . .
Hopefully my epitaph will read something like this:
"She hated folding laundry but like
to fold us in her arms."

Poet: B. Rivers
No matter how old I am
I always remember what you taught me
The values, the rights and wrongs
Have guided me through many a day
Thank you Mom for all you do
Thank you Mom for all you've done
Always remember in my books
You will be my Number 1

Old Mothers
Poet: Charles Sarsfield Ross
I love old mothers-mothers with white hair
And kindly eyes, and lips grown softly sweet,
With murmured blessings over sleeping babes.
There is a something in their quiet grace
That sparks the calm of Sabbath afternoons;
A knowledge in their deep, unfaltering eyes
That far outreaches all philosophy.
Time, with caressing touch about them weaves
The silver-threaded fairy-shawl of age,
While all the echoes of forgotten songs
Seem joined to lend a sweetness to their speech.
Old mothers!-as they pass with slow-timed step,
Their trembling hands cling gently to youth's strength.
Sweet mothers!-as they pass, one sees again
Old garden walks, old roses, and old loves.

You My Mom
Poet: Kate Summers
For all the things you have done
For all the sacrifices you made
For all the love you shared
For all the work you did
I will always appreciate you
I will always respect you
I will always look up to you
I will always love you
You my Mom, are great
You my Mom, are the best
You my Mom, there is no other
You my Mom, are a blessing
So on this special day
To recognize you
I say Thank You Mom
For all you do.
