  1. To The Sweetest Mother
    Poet: Mary Redington

    To the sweetest, sweetest mother,
    Dearer by far than any other,
    Sweeter the longer we are together,
    Happy and brave in stormy weather,
    I'll love you always through thick and thin,
    Let's stick together - we're sure to win.



  2. My Mother
    Poet: Katherine Rhodes

    Of all the beautiful things in the world,
    I love you best, my dear mother.
    And when at breakfast I think of you,
    I love you best; I love you.

    I love you, dear mother, best
    You are so sweet, so sweet, so sweet.
    I am sure there's not another one
    Like my dear sweet mother.

  4. Growing Old
    Poet: Bessie M. Brummett

    My dear Mother's growing old:
    Her face is lined with care.
    But each line represents some trouble
    Or burden she's helped to share.

    Her first thought always for others,
    When misfortunes come our way,
    And all other friends forsake us,
    Mother never turns away.

    Her hair has turned to silver.
    So clean and pure like her soul.
    But to me it's far more beautiful
    Then a young head crowned with gold.

    When her earthly life is over
    And she enters heaven fair,
    I am sure a crown of jewels
    Will shine in her silvery hair.

  6. Mother
    Poet: Muriel Horowitz

    A kindly word,
    A caressing hand.
    A friendly voice that understands,
    That's mother.

    A gentle word that is heard
    The whole day through.
    No matter how much work there is to do,
    She works all day while we're at play,
    That's mother.

  8. To My Mother
    Poet: Grace Parks

    Mother dear, I love you best,
    Better by far than all the rest,
    I'm sending you my truest love,
    As tender and fine as the stars above,
    We've been together for all these years,
    Let's stick together through laughter and tears.

  10. Mother to Grandma
    Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011

    To everyone else, you're just a person,
    But to me, you're someone great.
    I hope to be like you someday,
    especially on my due date.

    I couldn't have had a better teacher,
    Someone who molded me into the woman I am.
    But now I must take those teachings,
    And hope they will make me a grand slam.

    Not long from now, I will be a mother,
    And I have to say nervousness is me.
    But I trust you’ve taught me all that I need,
    To be as good of a mother as thee.

    So thanks for teaching me kindness,
    You were loving, genuine, and fun.
    I know you'll be a great-grandma,
    As your work here is not yet done!

  12. Not Perfect
    by Zoraida Pesante

    I am not a perfect mother and I will never be.
    You are not a perfect daughter and you will never be.
    But put us together and we will be
    The best mother and daughter we would ever be.

  14. I'm Now A Mother
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    The moments we shared,
    Oh, where did they go?
    Now I'm at the place
    Where you've been long ago.

    Nurturing, leading, and teaching with care,
    Showing me how to prepare.
    You made endless compromises for my sake,
    And I can no longer mistake.

    I am eternally thankful, Mom, for all that you contributed;
    Helping shape my life since I was a kid.
    Your guidance will forever be remembered-
    It helped me become who I am now - a mother!



  15. Mother and I quarreled one day I am so sorry that I have to say; And I'll never again think myself so smart, for I might break my dear mother's heart.
    You Only Get One Mother


  16. My Ideal
    Poet: Doris Nixon

    The pirate's ideal is ever to be bold
    And the miser is always greedy full of gold.

    The king always wants more world to rule,
    And the queen seeks to wear an expensive jewel.

    The sailor likes a ship on the sea,
    The urchin has dreams of president to be.

    But all I want is to grow every day
    More like my Mother in every way.

  18. Seasons
    Poet: Kate Summers


    A mother and daughter go through the seasons of life together,
    Both of them growing making each better
    Sharing the ups and downs,
    Fooling around, acting like a clown.
    Experiencing life's highs
    And, at times a few sighs
    But nothing can come between these two
    There is a bond that is solid and true.

  20. I Am Blessed
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    A daughter's love for her mom is admired,
    That by none can be easily expired;
    Your guidance and support I shall always appreciate,
    I cherish the memories I must reiterate.

    Your encouragement guided me through life so far,
    For any hardship faced, you were my shining star;
    Your support still remains strongly by my side,
    You have taught me to take things in stride.

    For every problem faced your offerings of advice,
    Helped me walk triumphantly down the path that was precise;  
    My heart is overwhelmed with joy and gratitude,
    I am blessed as a daughter to have a Mom like you!

  22. I Love My Mother
    by Priscilla Clark


    I love my mother don't you think I should?
    Every day I would love her, I would
    Some day she won't let you have your own way,
    She will tell you why if you stay,
    But be good to mother and to one another.



  23. Mom your wisdom and advice I thought were useless,<br> until a mother I became. Kate Summers

  24. Mother Daughter Feelings
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    Mother growing up I didn't appreciate
    Your advice, how appropriate.
    The love you showed to me
    Was more than a daughter could ever be.

    Daughter, I tried to protect you
    From hurt that life can do.
    I loved you more than you can know
    I tried to steer you so.

    Mother growing up I never saw
    The things you gave up, you went without
    There were times I just sat with a pout
    Oh, if I had only realized!

    Daughter, they were only things
    For you, happiness I would bring.
    There is nothing I gave up
    That I wouldn't do again.

    Mother growing up we disagreed
    I thought you didn't understand me.
    But now I realize you cared a lot
    And only my happiness you sought.

    Daughter oh, daughter I understood
    I tried to give you a positive attitude.
    My love for you will always be
    Full and strong even when you were contrary.

    Mother I know I was not perfect
    But I love you even with my defects!
    Daughter, I love you more
    In that, you can feel secure!

  26. Mother Of Mine
    by A Daughter


    You nursed me through my infant years
    You loved me as a child,
    You shared with me my hopes and fears,
    With counsels good and mild,
    And when my erring footsteps strayed.
    How sad that heart of thine,
    You loved me better than before.
    Dear Mother, Mother mine.
