11 Poems About Mothers

1. To My Mother
   Poet: Unknown
   
   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.

2. I'll Tell You
   Poet: Lindsay Howard
   
   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.




3. A Mother's Love
   by Helen Steiner Rice
   
   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 . . .

   Poet: Harry Coughaneur
   
   My Mother is just like the sun,
   She's always warm and bright,
   And I know now that she's the one

5. A Great Honor
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   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!

7. Mother
   Poet: Marion K. Sollanych
   
   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".

   Poet: Tiny Stoufer

   Now she sits alone in that rocking chair,

Tribute To A Mother



11. The Truest Friend
    Poet:  Washington Irving
    
    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.
