The poem below was written by a 10 year old daughter and expresses her love for her Mom

I Love You, Mom
Poet: Alexa A. M. Hebert, ©2020
I love you day and night
And you shall see my love tonight
I take this moment to say I love you
And I know in your heart you love me too.
You're my Mom and I'm your child
And we know that we love each other
I say Happy Mother’s Day
And I love you in every way.
Today, tonight
You shall see my light tonight
In my heart day and night
You are my Mom today and tonight.
Perhaps you don't have a lot of money to buy gifts but as this poem
below suggests
a message of thanks can mean more to Mom than any gift could every mean.

To My Mom on Mother's Day
Poet: Anya C. Muste
I can't send a dozen roses
To the best Mom in the world;
Or a box of gourmet chocolates,
Or a string of cultured pearls.
But I'll send along a message,
Pick a card and sign my name,
Close it fast and mail it to you
This is what my card will say:
Thank you for always being there;
It means more than you can see.
And with lots of love this Mother's Day;
Than you Mom for having me.
Thank You Poems To Mom
A mothers love is great but as this poem expresses

Mother Dear
Poet: Mary Frances Sheron
Mother dear I love you true,
This love for you is nothing new,
As long as love will ever flow,
Let's not let our supply run low.
Mother dear if it wasn't for you.
I'd not even know that skies are blue,
You put the beauty along the way,
So I honor you on Mother's day.
This daughter questions whoever thought of Mother's Day?
But, the daughter also expresses thanks for the one who did!

Thinkin Of Mother
Poet: Lola Plunkett
As Mother's Day draws nearer,
There's a joy in each our hearts,
For Mothers always dearer
When we are far apart.
I'm thankful for that someone
Who set aside the day,
When we can honor Mother
In that good, old-fashioned way.
It seems to me the sweetest day
Of all those of the year,
Because it gives a little way
To honor Mother dear.
But there always comes a longin'
When we are far away,
And somehow get to thinkin'
Of Mother on Mother's Day.
There is a strong bond between mother and daughter as you will see in the verses below.

A Daughters Wish
Poet: Ann Jewels, @ 2011
Together and forever,
We will always be.
Mother and daughter,
You and me.
The love that we share,
Is a very strong bond.
No one can break it,
Unless neither one of us responds.
So let's be true,
To each other and be.
The one person that will be there,
No matter who needs the tea.
Our bond will stay strong,
As long as we hold on.
So let us remember this now,
Happy Mothers Day to a Mother icon.

Gosh, Oh, Gee!
Poet: Marion Burger
My Mother is so dear to me,
To do without her, gosh, oh, gee!
If she's not fixin a meal,
She's at the store makin' a deal.
She tries to get the things I ask,
And sometimes is quite a task.
I can't express what's in my heart.
But if you are a little smart
You'll know my Mother's dear to me
To do without her - gosh, oh, gee!

Now That I’m a Mom Too
Now I know the sleepless nights,
The worry tucked in morning light.
The little things you used to do—
They shine so brightly now, it's true.
As I raise a child of mine,
I see your love in every sign.
You gave your all, both strong and kind,
And left your wisdom in my mind.
No one wore more hats or gave more love than you, Mom—you did it all.
-
For My Single Mom
You wore both hats—so brave, so true,
The strength of one, the love of two.
You gave your all, no time to rest,
And somehow always gave your best.
No need for riches, gold, or fame,
You built our world and signed your name.
This Mother's Day, I honor you—
A hero dressed in everyday shoes.
Even when words go unspoken, a mother and daughter’s love can always find its way back.
-
A Gentle Rebuild
We’ve had our times, the ups and downs,
Some silent tears, a few small frowns.
But love, it lingered all the same,
And softly called the other's name.
So here I am on Mother’s Day,
Not just to smile, but now to say—
No past mistake can dim the view,
I’m grateful, Mom, for me and you.
Time may touch your features, Mom, but it only deepens my love for you.
-
As You Grow Older
The lines upon your face I see
Are chapters of your love for me.
Each one a mark of strength and grace,
A legacy time can’t erase.
So on this day I simply pray,
That joy will find your heart today.
And may you know, both near and far,
How loved and treasured you still are.
You may not have given me life, but you’ve given me love in every way that matters.
-
For My Adoptive Mom
You didn’t give me life, it’s true,
But you gave love in all you do.
A choice you made, a heart so wide,
That welcomed me with arms held high.
You taught me how to laugh and grow,
To stand up strong, to let love show.
On Mother’s Day, I hope you see—
The gift you gave was choosing me.
