There is no love more powerful than a mother’s love. It is a love that begins before her child is born and lasts a lifetime.

A mother’s love is unconditional, filled with sacrifices and endless support. She encourages, forgives, and gives her time and energy without hesitation—all for the happiness of her child.

This bond between mother and child is unbreakable, a connection that grows stronger through every moment, every trial, and every joy. To witness true love, simply look at the relationship between a mother and her child.



  1. My Love For My Child

    Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011

    My love for my child is unbelievable,
    I never knew I could love so much,
    To see her every day is a blessing in underway,
    Hard to believe love could be in a single touch.

    I know I will love her forever,
    Nothing will ever change that.
    My love for her is true, and will never be blue,
    Cause our love is nothing you'd poke fun at!



  2. A Gift From God

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    A gift from God is my Mother's love
    It is so real I know it is sent from above.
    No matter what I say or do
    My Mom's love is so true.

    It is shown in many different ways
    It doesn't matter the time of day
    She is always there for me
    Mom's love you can see.

    I am so thankful each and every day
    For my Mother, I do pray
    Keep her safe every day
    Her love for me is precious in every way.

  6. A Mother's Love

    Poet: Helen Steiner Rice

    A Mother's love is something
    that no on 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 ...

    It is patient and forgiving
    when all others are forsaking,
    And it never fails or falters
    even though the heart is breaking ...

    It believes beyond believing
    when the world around condemns,
    And it glows with all the beauty
    of the rarest, brightest gems ...

    It is far beyond defining,
    it defies all explanation,
    And it still remains a secret
    like the mysteries of creation

    A many splendoured miracle
    man cannot understand
    And another wondrous evidence
    of God's tender guiding hand.



  7. Vast And Boundless

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    A mother's love is vast and boundless,
    It warms the heart and melts away sadness.

    It cannot be broken nor contended, always
    With us on our good and bad days.

    A love that is there through dark and trying times,
    Gently carrying us through life's steep climbs.

    Our shelter in storms, our stars in night sky,
    Mothers are one of God's gifts that we can't deny.

  9. Love Forever

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    My children are my pride and joy
    I love my girl and my boy.
    The love I have for them
    Is worth more than any gem.

    For their happiness, I would give
    My life so they could live
    They have brought such happiness to me
    I love them more than they can see.

    A mother's love I now understand
    It is forever and not a demand
    When that baby is born
    You find meaning life takes on.

    While love takes on many forms
    And love will see you through many storms
    The love a mother has for her child
    Is forever and never wild.



  10. A mother's love for a child is a love that is untouchable.  It is one that is the strongest loves in the world. Catherine Pulsifer

  11. A Mother's Plea

    Poet: Mary C. Plummer

    Now, that I am old and gray with age,
    Forsake me not, my child,
    For 'twas thy mother's tender care.
    That kept you all the while.

    Cast me not into a corner,
    And say, "Stay there, your time is o'er,"
    For mother's love will ne'er diminish,
    Each day she loves you more and more.

    Then, to my fleeting years be patient,
    For time has had its way with me,
    And soon beneath the sod I'll slumber;
    Yes, there to spend eternity.



  12. With You As You Grow

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    The only love better than a Mother's love
    Is the unconditional love of God above.
    He created mothers with care
    To give us love to share.

    A Mother's love is always there
    A Mother always cares
    Never doubt your Mom is near
    She is with you throughout your years.

    She watches over you each day
    She watches you as you play
    And at night she puts you to bed
    And kisses you gently on the head.

    We grow and think we know it all
    There are times with Mom we do brawl
    But she never gives up on you
    She loves you that is so true.

    You can see Mom's love is a lot like God above
    With attributes as Him above
    She will always love you so
    She is with you as you grow.

  14. A Mother's Love

    Poet: James Montgomery

    A Mother's Love - how sweet the name!
    What is a Mother's love? -
    A noble, pure, and tender flame
    Enkindled from above,
    To bless a heart of earthly mold;
    The warmest love that can grow cold:
    This is a Mother's Love.

    To bring a helpless babe to light,
    Then, while it lies forlorn.
    To gaze upon that dearest sight
    And feel herself new-born.
    In its existence lose her own,
    And live and breathe in it alone:
    This is a Mother's Love.

    To mark its growth from day to day,
    Its opening charms admire.
    Catch from its eye the earliest ray
    Of intellectual fire;
    To smile and listen while it talks
    And lend a finger when it walks;
    This is a Mother's Love.



  15. Deep And True

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    A mother's love is deep and true,
    Her child a gift, bestowed from God above.
    His blessing in this moment new,
    Lifting hearts from darkness into love.

    The miracle of human birth,
    A sacred union shared by One,
    The Lord looks down and sees its worth,
    The gift for which no cost is done.

    Gratitude for this miracle divine,
    Mother bats her lashes wet with tears.
    This precious life to Mother is so fine,
    Her greatest joy throughout the years!



  16. A Mother’s Bond

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    A mother’s love, a gentle thread,
    Weaving warmth through words unsaid.
    An unbreakable bond, steadfast, true,
    A light that guides in all we do.

    Through every trial, joy, and tear,
    Her love remains both close and near.
    No force on earth could tear apart,
    The endless love of a mother’s heart.



  17. No Love like a Mother's

    Poet: John Jarvis Holden

    There is no Love like a Mother's -
    'Tis the Sun that shineth forth;
    There is no Truth like a Mother's -
    'Tis the Star that points the North;
    There is no Hope like a Mother's -
    'Tis the April in the clod;
    There is not Trust like a Mother's -
    'Tis the Charity of God:
    The Love and Truth, the Hope and Trust
    That make the mortal more than dust.

    Poet: E. O. Jewell

    It never dies, - a mother's love
    Strengthens with every ill that may betide;
    In every phase of life its waters move
    With current strong, and fathomless, and wide.
    From the heart oft other flames may rise,
