To My Mother
You filled my days with rainbow lights,
Fairytales and sweet dream nights
A kiss to wipe away my tears,
Gingerbread to ease my fears
You gave the gift of life to me,
And then in love, you set me free
I thank you for your tender care,
For deep warm hugs and being there
I hope that when you think of me,
A part of you, you'll always see.
I'll Tell You
Who is it always comforts me
When I've a bruise or scratch?
Who is it always helps me out
Whenever my trousers need a patch.
Who is it often laughs at me
And says that I'm a clown?
But I'm as sure as sure can be
She'll never let me down.
Who is it often laughs at me
Much more than any other?
If you do not already know,
I'll tell you, it's my Mother.
A Mother's Love
A Mother's love is something that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it or take that love away . . .
A Mothers Love Poem
Mothers Are...
Mothers are beacons of the world,
Unknowingly bearing so much;
From her warm embrace so tender and caring,
Calming us with her touch.
.
She works tirelessly in the home and outside;
No matter what she'll always give us more,
Caring for us deeply with love on her side,
Encouraging us, she does for sure.
Our hearts overflow with endless admiration;
No one can do it like moms can do!
Making sacrifices day in and day out;
Juggling roles like no other could spew.
No one can replace Mothers or their profound role,
Their everlasting love warms us all.
Thank you Moms everywhere for the great efforts made
And never letting us fall!
Mom Poems
Mother
My Mother is just like the sun,
She's always warm and bright,
And I know now that she's the one
Who makes my burdens light.
As long as there are days and years,
There will never be another
Who can alleviate my fears
As well as my sweet Mother.
Always By My Side
A mother’s love is pure and true,
A guiding light our whole life through.
Her gentle hands, her caring way,
Bring comfort brightens every day.
Through highs and lows, she stands so near,
With words of hope to calm our fear.
Her endless love, so deep, so wide,
Forever stays right by our side.
A Great Honor
Being a mother is a gift from God.
A mother's love for us will never go away.
No greater gift could ever compare
As she guides her children each and every day.
The strength and courage she possesses;
She demonstrates those traits each day.
She showers us with tenderness,
She guides us so we do not go astray.
God gave this noble task to her,
It truly is a lifelong honor
To do it faithfully until her last breath,
A mother's life is never squandered!
Christian Poems
Partnership With God
A partnership with God is motherhood,
What strength, what purity, what self-control,
What love, what wisdom should belong to her
Who helps God fashion an immortal soul!
Mother
A strain of music fills the air
Its melody is sweet and fair
In lowly hut and mansion grand
This song is shared by every land.
And yet this song has but one word
More blest than any every heard
I love it more than any other
The dearest, sweetest name of "Mother".
Mothers Day Messages
My Mother
Through good luck or woe,
The sweetest pal I know,
My Mother!
The smile she gave
Made me good and brave,
My Mother!
When I was small she rocked me there,
Now she sits alone in that rocking chair,
My Mother!
Her tear drops fall for her babies grown tall,
She's still my silver-haired pal,
My Mother!
O My Mother
O my Mother is so sweet
She is so graceful and so fine,
She makes my bed and buys my clothes,
I hope she will always be mine.
A Mother Gives
A mother gives with heart so wide,
She puts her own needs all aside.
Through sleepless nights and endless care,
Her love remains beyond compare.
We owe her more than words can say,
For all she’s done in every way.
So thank you, Mom, both near and far,
Your love will always be our star.
Tribute To A Mother
Nobody Knows
Nobody knows of the work it makes
To keep the home together.
Nobody knows of the steps it takes,
Nobody knows - but Mother.
The Truest Friend
A mother is the truest friend we have,
When trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us
When adversity takes the place of prosperity
When friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us
When troubles thicken around us,
Still will she cling to us,
And endeavor by her kind precepts
And counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness,
And cause peace to return to our hearts.
I Didn’t Say It Enough
I didn’t say it near enough,
How much your love meant to me.
Your kindness, strong yet soft and true,
Gave me the strength to be.
Now older, I see with clearer eyes—
Your heart, your grace, your gentle touch.
Forgive me for the times I missed
To say, "I love you so much."
Life Lessons from Mom
You taught me more than words could show,
To do what’s right, to let love grow.
Through patient talks and quiet deeds,
You shaped my heart, fulfilled my needs.
Now when I stand and choose what’s right,
It’s your example that guides my light.
When I Fell
When I had failed and lost my way,
You didn’t turn or walk away.
You picked me up with steady hand,
Taught me how to rise and stand.
Your faith in me was always there—
A mother's love, beyond compare.
She Prayed for Me
I saw you bow your head each night,
Praying that I'd choose the right.
You spoke my name before the Lord,
And I was covered, soul restored.
Now I believe because you knew—
That faith in God would carry through.
The Empty Chair
The chair sits still, your smile now gone,
But in my heart, your love lives on.
I hear your laugh in quiet air,
I see your strength in how I care.
Though I can’t hug you like before,
I carry your love forevermore.
