Poem Thanking Mom

in Thank You Poems

Thank you...
For standing by me through thick and thin,
For not giving up on me when I didn't win,
For your patience when I kept pushing you away,

Thank you...
For standing by me through thick and thin,
For not giving up on me when I didn't win,
For your patience when I kept pushing you away,
For caring when I said I didn't need you anyway.

I am grateful knowing...
I can count on your strength,
Ask for your support and know you'll go to any length.
When I lose my way,
You help me get back on track.
When in pain,
Your comfort soothes and brings me back.

I am lucky because...
When I was sad, you gave me faith and hope.
When I was confused, you taught me how to cope.
When I felt I couldn't go on,
You carried me long miles.
When I didn't believe,
You restored my smiles.

Mom, thank you...
For your guidance and the faith you've shown,
For giving me a safe place where I have grown,
For showing me how to strive.
Because of your love,
I will survive.

Mother's Message Of Love To Daughter

in Daughter Poems

My daughter means the world to me!
So much out there for her to see!
I'd like to take her in my arms
And show her the world and all of its charms.

My daughter means the world to me!
So much out there for her to see!
I'd like to take her in my arms
And show her the world and all of its charms.
As she grows a little day by day,
God lights the path to guide her on her way.
As she blooms out like a precious flower,
She will always know God's wonderful power.

3. Love At Last

Poem From Mom Who Wants Her Daughter's Love

in Mother Daughter Poems

I remember the good times
that we once had...
but still my life
is oh...so sad

I remember the good times
that we once had...
but still my life
is oh...so sad

I try to look forward,
but my mind goes back...
because a piece of the glass
on our portrait is cracked.

I try so hard to protect the glass.
I won't let it shatter...
Because you and your love
are all that matters.

My family is all
that means anything to me.
Still...everything always
gets blamed on me.

This happens to moms
all over the world.
We're supposed to be perfect;
we learn this as girls.

I have never been great
or the "best of moms"...
And at times I've failed
by the things I've done wrong.

For those things, I am sorry.
I didn't want you to cry...
but please remember
my eyes are not dry.

I hope you can find
our love that seems lost.
For the mistakes I have made
came at a very high cost.

A piece of my life,
is missing and gone.
And everything feels
Oh so wrong.

But there is one thing
that I can do.
I will try to be strong
just for you.

One thing I feel
down deep in my heart.
It's my love for you.
I guess that's a start.

You have a new son
now growing inside.
And I hope that you feel
each of his kicks with pride.

You will feel love
like never before.
It is your family
you will completely adore.

It's a new beginning.
you will forget the past.
It completes you as a woman.
It will be "love at last."

4. My Mother Vs. Meth
- By Brittany
- Published: November 2008
in Addiction Poems about Family

Most days I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs.
I want my mother back; who is this monster you have become?

I really haven't known who you are for quite a while,

Most days I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs.
I want my mother back; who is this monster you have become?

I really haven't known who you are for quite a while,
But I try to act tough, so I force this fake smile.

You love someone else way more than me.
Her name is Crystal Meth, and I don't think she'll ever set you free.

She's had you in her hands for about 10 years,
But all of those years are nothing compared to my fear.

Fear of you lying,
Fear of you dying,
Fear of having so much faith in you and just being left crying.

You wrote me letters from prison and promised the sky.
More than 3 years later and nothing but lies.

Nothing but heartache, pain, and misery...
I GET IT NOW; you chose her over me.

You've told me to my face that it was drugs over me.
Even that wasn't enough to make me see.

Today you will tell me that you are clean.
You give me so much hope, then tomorrow it's the same ole' dope phen.

I'm telling you now that I am through with you.
This comes from my heart and every word of it is true.

I can't promise that I will be around to see,
But when you get tired of that meth, you will see.
All along you had something way better,
And it was your family.

I do thank you so much for one thing.
Thank you for showing me how important a good mother should be
And to never show my children the pain that you showed me.

So, today I officially set myself free
Because I know there's a stronger woman in me.

Memories Of Being Your Mom

in Mother Child Poems

Memories of another time still come
To me and fill my mind, with thoughts
Of you when you were young. I lie awake
'Till the morning sun comes creeping

Memories of another time still come
To me and fill my mind, with thoughts
Of you when you were young. I lie awake
'Till the morning sun comes creeping
Through my window shade, as I dwell upon
Mistakes I've made. What I would give to
Go back in time and feel your little
Hand in mine. To cherish each fast and
Fleeting day. To hold you close and kiss
Away, each pain that life will have in
Store and try to give you so much more.
You are part and will always be, imbedded in the soul of me. While I'm
Here, I want to say, that I've loved you
Each and every day and when my time on
Earth is gone.
The privilege was mine to have been your Mom.

My Darling Daughter

in Wedding Poems

My darling daughter,
I just want you to know
wherever your life takes you,
my heart shall also go.

My darling daughter,
I just want you to know
wherever your life takes you,
my heart shall also go.

When I learned that you were coming,
it was a wonderful night!
But little did I know, my child,
you'd become my guiding light.

I held you and I raised you,
kissing life's pains away;
but now there'll be another
starting with your wedding day.

So go into the world, my love,
and chase all the joy you can.
Just remember you're still mine.
I'm just sharing you with that man.

I wish you all life's happiness, love,
though now it's with another.
But always remember--never forget,
no one will ever love you...like your mother.

Best wishes with all my heart, Mom

You Are My Daughter For Eternity

in Mother Daughter Poems

When I held you for the first time,
My life began to shine.
I knew then this life wasn't just mine.

When I held you for the first time,
My life began to shine.
I knew then this life wasn't just mine.

I would do what it takes
To help you correct your mistakes,
To get by the challenges you may face.

For our freedom many have fought.
Some days will be good, others will not.
Always thank God for the life you've got.

The world isn't perfect, as you will see.
Having you here made it better for me.
When you're in need, by your side I'll be.

For you are my daughter for eternity.

9. Looking At My Child
- By Dee McDonald
- Published: September 2008
in Daughter Poems

I look at my child as she looks at me,
And into her eyes I look and I see
The innocence that fills her unspoiled soul.
These moments I wish I could treasure and hold.

I look at my child as she looks at me,
And into her eyes I look and I see
The innocence that fills her unspoiled soul.
These moments I wish I could treasure and hold.

But my baby is growing, and influences are strong.
I hope she remembers the right from the wrong.
I've tried hard to instill these virtues inside,
But regardless, she still fills me with happiness and pride.

The job of a Mother can be very hard.
With tears full and plenty, your heart can feel scared.
When you look at your baby filled with happiness and glee,
No better reward for a Mother can be.

As hard as it is or as it can be,
I'd never trade this experience for anything, you see.
The innocence she holds she has passed on to me,
And a much better person she's helped me to be.

A Mother's Emotions At Daughter's Wedding

in Wedding Poems

In just a few days,
You'll start a new life
As a brand new bride
...As someone's wife

In just a few days,
You'll start a new life
As a brand new bride
...As someone's wife

Tomorrow, my dear
As you walk down the aisle
With cheer in your heart,
And that million dollar smile

My own smile will hide
A few tender tears
Wrapped in memories of
Your wonder years

A gush of nostalgia
An emotional swirl
Engulfs me as I reminisce
About my little girl

It's hard not to go down
The memory lane
... Sprinkled with acres
Of sunshine and rain

You were a bundle of joy
With curly locks,
Who enthralled the family
With her baby talks

You unified my fragments
Into a whole
We became two bodies
Wrapped in a soul

Our bond, our connect
Was hard to define
My thoughts were yours
Your emotions were mine

In your happiness I laughed
In my pain, you cried
For each other
- The entire world we defied

Sometimes you were vulnerable
Sometimes in doubt
But we drew strength from each other
And always worked things out

Standing here today
I look back and think
How those years with you
Melted away in a blink

From a cuddly kid, you've morphed
To a lissome bride
A handsome prince charming
By your side

On this happy path
May you both walk together
Nourished by the sunshine
Of your love for each other

Walking you down the aisle
I will struggle not to cry
For this is a new beginning
Not a goodbye

The best phase of life
Has only just begun
I'm not losing a daughter
I'm gaining a son

Remember my baby
As you become his wife
You are, and will always be,
The nucleus of my life

Just remember, time or distance
Can never do us apart
You'll find me there
In every beat of your heart
