You Only Get One Mother

1. Only One Mother

   Poet Unknown
   
   You can only have one mother
   Patient kind and true,
   No other friend in all the world
   Will be so true to you.
   
   For all her loving kindness
   She asks nothing in return,
   If all the world deserts you
   To your mother you can turn.
   
   You can only have one mother
   Please take her to your heart,
   You cannot tell how soon the day
   When you and she must part.
   
   Let her know you love her
   Cheer and comfort her each day,
   For you'll never have another
   When she has passed away.






2. Only One Mother

   Poet: Unknown
   
   Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky.
   Hundreds of shells on the shore together.
   Hundreds of birds that go singing by.
   Hundreds of bees in the sunny weather.
   
   Hundreds of dew drops to greet the dawn,
   Hundreds of lambs in the purple clover,
   Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn.
   But only one mother the wide world over.

   Dear little mother, with your tender care
   You guided my life through many years,
   Toiled all day and into the night

4. Treasure Her

   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   One mother is all you've got,
   So treasure her with every thought.
   Your bond is special and unique -
   So cherish it - it can never be bought.
   
   For she always offers you love,
   A comfort that she is always there
   From providing life and caring for you -
   Such qualities can't compare.
   
   So don't take her for granted not one bit,
   Recognize her worth and never forget.

5. A True Friend

   Poet: Betty Jane Berens
   
   I have a friend, a friend indeed,
   A friend to help me when I am in need.
   To kiss me and tuck me in bed at night,
   Always so cheerful and always so bright.
   
   Although they are kind, my sister and brother.
   There is no one like my dear old mother.




Mom Poems




6. Mother

   Poet: Roselle R. McGovern
   
   What is so sweet as a Mother,
   To kiss all your sorrows away?
   You would never trade her for another,
   For it is she, who brightens your day.
   
   Of whom is a Mother's first thought,
   As she guides her child's feet through each day?
   Such loving kindness can never be bought
   So heed her advice in every way.
   
   When a Mother's life has come to an end,
   And she bids all her loved ones good-bye,
   Her love to them she will always sent
   For a soul like a Mother's will never die.






7. My Mother's Knee

   Poet: Samuel Lover
   
   There was a place in childhood that I remember well.
   And there a voice of sweetest tone bright fairy tales did tell;
   And gentle words and fond embrace were given with joy to me
   When I was in that happy place, upon my mother's knee.
   
   When fairy tales were ended, "Good night," she softly said.
   And kissed, and laid me down to sleep within my tiny bed;
   And holy words she taught me there - me-thinks I yet can see
   Her angel eyes, as close I knelt beside my mother's knee.
   
   In the sickness of my childhood, the perils of my prime,
   The sorrows of my riper years, the cares of every time;
   When doubt and danger weighed me down, then pleading all for me.
   It was a fervent prayer to Heaven that bent my mother's knee.
