Updated March 29, 2025, by Catherine Pulsifer


A mother’s birthday is more than just a date on the calendar — it’s a chance to pause and celebrate the woman who has given so much. Mothers are the heart of the home, always giving, always caring, and often putting others before themselves. As children, we may not always understand the depth of her love or the sacrifices she makes. But as we grow older, we begin to see just how much she’s done — not for praise, but out of love.

This collection of birthday poems for Mom is meant to show appreciation for the one who has been our comfort, our strength, and our biggest supporter. While no words can ever fully express how grateful we are, these short poems offer a heartfelt way to say thank you and happy birthday.

May these verses help you express the love and appreciation you feel in your heart. Because if there’s one word that defines unconditional love, it’s "Mother."

    You always listen and understand
    Your love was always unconditional
    Mom, I think you are exceptional.

    Have been a great sport.

  13. One Wish

    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

    Mom, if I had one wish
    it would be for you to never wash another dish.

    But every day.

    You clean and you cook
    You never have time, to read a book.
    Washing clothes, making beds
    Even making homemade bread.

    Imagine what our house would look like
    If Mom you decided to go on strike?
    So, on this your birthday I just want to say
    We all appreciate you in every way!
