A Special Love
- By Bindiya M. Bissasir
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2020 with permission of the Author.
My name is Bindiya. I'm 16, going on 17. I dropped out of school due to poverty, and I grew up with my mom, grandma, stepfather, and brothers and sisters. My family is like my world. I didn't grow up with my own father. He was very rich and wanted another, and he abandoned my mom when I was only 8 months in her womb. It was very difficult growing up.

A Mom Who Lights Up My Life

in Mother Poems

You're like the sun
that brightens the day.
When you're not there,
the light goes away.

You're like the sun
that brightens the day.
When you're not there,
the light goes away.

You're like the moon
that brightens the night.
When you're not around,
there is no light.

You're like the stars
that shine so bright.
You're never wrong
but always right.

You're like the tree
that bears the sweetest pear.

There's one thing
in my heart I want to say.
"You're the world's best mom
I see every day."

I Love You Mommy Poem

in Mother Daughter Poems

Mommy, I love you
More than you see.
You have always been there
When I needed you to be.

Mommy, I love you
More than you see.
You have always been there
When I needed you to be.

I know I don't show
How great my love is,
But I need you to know
All the love of you I have to give.

I wish there was more
For you I could do,
But all I can say
Is how much I love you.

It is deeper than the oceans,
Higher than the sun.
I could shout it forever
And still not be done.

Your smile is a keepsake.
I keep close to my heart
That I open up and treasure
When we are apart.

To My Mummy
- By Nick
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2011 with permission of the Author.
I wrote this poem on behalf of my 2-month-old son for my wife on Mother's Day. My wife is Irish (hence the name Eóin) and has done such a wonderful job of being a first-time Mummy that she deserves every bit of thanks and praise. I just know that if my baby could formulate some sentences, that's exactly what he'd write.

For My Wife From Our Baby On Mother's Day

in Mother's Day Poems

To my Mummy,

From the moment we met
And you held me so tight,

To my Mummy,

From the moment we met
And you held me so tight,
I knew I was safe
As you kissed me goodnight.

I woke up so often
And stumbled with feeds.
You never gave up on me,
Met all my needs.

Now that I'm almost
A three-month-old boy,
I want you to know that
You're my greatest joy.

They say that we look alike,
Same eyes and nose,
Better than looking
Like Dad, I suppose.

I love when we cuddle.
I love when we play.
I love that you sing to me
Every day.

Whenever I cry or
I poop or I pee,
Thank you for taking
Such good care of me.

Thank you for loving me,
No matter what.
Everything you do
To me means a lot.

Next time you hear me say,
"Ga ga goo goo,"
What I'm really saying is,
"Mummy, I love you."

Happy Mother's Day
Love,
Eóin xx

Poem About What Makes A Great Mother

in Mother Poems

I know of a woman whose strength is of a bear.
And even when she's not that happy, she always takes time out to care.
I know of a woman whose beauty is that of a queen.
But she continues to teach us that beauty doesn't mean a thing.

I know of a woman whose strength is of a bear.
And even when she's not that happy, she always takes time out to care.
I know of a woman whose beauty is that of a queen.
But she continues to teach us that beauty doesn't mean a thing.
You see, this woman I know is surely like no other.
Because the woman I mention here is truly my great mother.

I Love You, Mum
- By Jessica Ashton
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2009 with permission of the Author.
I just wanted a poem from my heart to hers about how much I am grateful for everything she does for me. I hope you enjoy this poem because no matter what, mums are great to have! Enjoy!

in Mother's Day Poems

The way I feel, I can't explain
The gratitude inside
For all the days and all the nights
You spent right by my side.

The way I feel, I can't explain
The gratitude inside
For all the days and all the nights
You spent right by my side.

For every hug and every kiss
To send me on my way,
For always putting me to bed
To prepare me for another day.

For loving me through the hurt
And pain that's come my way.
For holding on to me so tight
That I can barely breathe.

For never letting go
Of the hope you hold for my life.
For keeping it so close to you heart
All this time.

For yelling at me when I'm out of place,
For telling me the truth,
For forgiving me for what I say
'Cause I know it hurts.

So now I say what I feel
At this time and day
That Mum, I LOVE YOU all the time,
So Happy Mother's Day.

The Centerpiece Of My Life

in Mother's Day Poems

Mom, you are the centerpiece of my life.
The light in my sun.
I can't thank you enough for all you have done.
You make me smile when I am sad.

Mom, you are the centerpiece of my life.
The light in my sun.
I can't thank you enough for all you have done.
You make me smile when I am sad.
You are the best mother a child could ever have.
You console me deeply when something's wrong.
You know when something's happened or something's going on.
I appreciate the love you bring in.
You cheer me up when I lose.
You make me laugh when I win.
You turn my moon into a sun.
You've done too much though my life has just begun.
You give me a shelter and food to eat.
You are the soles in my shoes,
The bones in my feet.
You support me and hold me tall.
You stand me high and don't let me fall.
You make my life easier in every way.
That's why I want to say Happy Mother's Day!

Through Thick And Thin
- By Holly M. Cunniffe
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2023 with permission of the Author.
The story behind my poem is about my favourite person in the world: my mother. She believes in me no matter what. She always picks me up when I'm down. I love her more than anyone in the world, and if anything happened to her I don't know what I'd do. She is by far the best person I have ever known. I'm so lucky to have her. The luckiest person in the world.

Poem Celebrating A Mom's Love And Support

in Mother Daughter Poems

You stayed with me through thick and thin,
even when I started to turn dark within.
You always bring me back to reality,
Saying the world doesn't revolve around flattery.

You stayed with me through thick and thin,
even when I started to turn dark within.
You always bring me back to reality,
Saying the world doesn't revolve around flattery.
I love you more than you will ever know,
And this poem will tell you so.
You tell me not to weep
And to go back to sleep.
You pick me up when I'm down.
You say funny things to stop my frown.
I really have to thank the good Lord
For giving me the best mother in the world.

Wanting To Tell Mom How Much I Love Her

in Mother Child Poems

I love her so much, my mother.
She's always in my heart.
Even though we argue,
we'll never be apart.

I love her so much, my mother.
She's always in my heart.
Even though we argue,
we'll never be apart.

She can tell when I have problems.
She knows when I am down.
She's always there to cheer me up
and take away my frowns.

At times when I get mad at her,
it's hard to stay that way.
Only because she makes me laugh
every passing day.

I love my mother with all my heart,
but this she does not know.
Sometimes I want to tell her,
but I'm afraid to let it show.

Hi, I'm Andee, and I'm twelve years old. I wrote this poem to my mom on Mother's Day. I hope you enjoy it very much.

in Family Poems for Kids

A mom is a person to stand right
beside you until the very end.
She'll always be there for you,
no matter where or when.

A mom is a person to stand right
beside you until the very end.
She'll always be there for you,
no matter where or when.

A mommy will care for you.
She'll be right by your side.
She wants to be with you
when you need to run and hide.

A mom is like a superhero.
She'll always be there for you,
and when you need her the most,
she'll always come through.

A mother is like a shining star,
shining through the night,
a big beautiful brightness
that helps you when you're in fright.

A mother is like a present
you get on Christmas morning.
She's fun, joyful, and caring,
and she's rarely ever boring.

To do so much work.
I'll always help out
Instead of being a jerk.
