Through her care, patience, and steady presence, she shapes our lives in ways we may not always see right away. These poems are written to honor that special bond, to reflect on the kindness she shows, and to remind us how truly blessed we are to have her. Whether you are looking for words to share or simply wish to reflect, may these verses help you appreciate the love of a mother even more.

Wonderful You Are

Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011

Mom, you'll always be,
Someone special to me.

Someone who'd come on home,
So I wouldn't have to be alone.

I always had what I need,
I never had to plead.

You were always on my side,
And did so with great pride.

My Inspiration

To my mother, my inspiration,
How do I adore you.
You've never gone, always held on,
Kept our family together like glue.

We've had our ups, our downs too,
But we've always come out in the end.
My relationship with you has pretty much been great too,
And you've always been like a friend.

One day I hope to be a mother like you,
One who will always be counted on.
They will always know, that I will never go,
And I will always be ready for their opinion.

So I'd like to say, at the end of the day,
Thanks for being so great.
I've learned so much, and will always be such,
A good person with all of your traits.

One day I hope to be a mother like you, One who will always be counted on.

Words For Mom

Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011

I've watched you,
Heard you,
learned from you
Want to be you.

Loved you,
Hugged you,
Kissed you,
Always missed you.

Never hurt you,
Never wanted to,
Be away from you,
Cause you're you.

Your love,
Your hugs,
Your kisses
Your misses,
Have made me out to be the person I am today.

Mothers Have Many Names

Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011

A mom has many names,
At first, it starts with mama.
This stage of life is wonderful,
But is full of lots of drama.

Then shortly after that,
Mama becomes mommy.
This is when life gets real busy,
And we become very chummy.

When mommy is replaced,
Maturity is usually why.
Teenagers don’t call mommy,
But Mom when they're nearby.

Mother is also used,
When getting the point across.
It's the same as us using middle names,
When we're telling them who's the boss.

And Maaaa will be used quite often,
When sucking up is a need.
Money here, a drive there,
Is often wanted with speed.

But whichever name you are called,
Mommy, mom, mama, maaa or mother.
Know they all have the same meaning,
And they wouldn't trade you for any other.

we wouldn't trade you for any other

No Words Can Say

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

No words can express
Nor can any words address
How I feel about you
For who you are and what you do.
No matter what I say or do
The words can't say how much I thank you.

So, Mom I just want to say
I love you each and every day
Thank you for your support and love
Each day I thank God above
For giving me a Mom like you
You're the best, that is so true!

A Toast To Mother

Poet: Fred Emerson Brooks

I toast the mother with the hallowed features,
Most blessed one of all created creatures!
What man achieves he owes to woman's care -
A sweet wife's love or saintly mother's prayer.
