A Mother's Love Is Forever

Poem About A Mother's Love Being A Gift

I've been with you
since before your birth.
I'll stand by your side
as long as I'm on this earth.

A mother's love is special,
a never-ending gift.
A love that's always there
if you ever need a lift.

I think of you often,
never missing a day.
My love is forever
and always sent your way.

You're never far from the caring
thoughts in my heart,
no matter how many miles
ever try to keep us apart.

A mother's love, your gift,
the gift I'll always give to you,
as we watch our lives go by,
no matter what you say or do.

Blessed By Two

By Teresa L. Finke
Published: February 2006

in Children Poems

The two of you will never know
How much my love has grown
To be blessed by two
When others have so few.

From the moment you were conceived,
You were all that I would ever need.
To hold you, comfort you, and love you both
Is all that I could ever hope.

You are my life,
You are my hope.
To see you both happy
Is my only hope.

My happiness has been through you.
I loved you both before you were you.
There were aches and pains, but it was worth it all.
I could not foresee what was to be.

From the first moment I held you both,
My love has only continued to grow.
There have never been two children as beautiful as you.

I am so proud of the both of you.
The good Lord was good to me and making you both my destiny.
Though now you want to be free from me,
Just remember there wouldn't be any you without me.

Grow up and be strong, but don't forget about me.
Your futures are bright as anyone can see.

When I am gone and in a better place,
Remember me more than just a face
I will continue to thank God every day
For my role that I have played,
As I have been blessed by two.

My poem came from me singing to my 9-month-old. I have two more children, ages 3-6. It's meant to tell a story of how a mother will always be there, even in death. Her love is undying. She doesn't ever want her children to be in despair.

Poem About The Love Of A Mother

in Children Poems

Full of laughter
Never ending dreams
When the sky reaches out, you'll see me
When the night is full
No sound to be heard
Close your eyes
And you'll learn
I'll be by your side
Fighting off the monsters
Those sweet dreams
Will be forever

Play pretend
Such innocence
Beauty define
I can't believe they are mine
To the fighting, to laughing
To the crying, to happy
No one can take that away

Sweet dreams are made
When you're awake
When the world seems cold
And things gets old
Take a breath and you'll see
Right there I'll be

When you're in pain
Head down in shame
Feel defeated
Mistreated
Nothing seems to go right
I'll be your light

'Cause sweet dreams are made
When you're awake
I'll take the pain
I'll take the fears
For you my loves
I don't want you to despair

I'll guide you til the end
And then still be there to hold your hand
Just please promise me
To forever be young
'Cause these sweet dreams
I don't want to lose
With my last breath I'll still say...
I...love...you

I Would Still Love You The Same

Unconditional Love Of A Mother

in Children Poems

If I didn't know where you came from,
If you had a different name,
Or perhaps you were a different color,
I would still love you the same.
If you lived up in the sky, or maybe in a tree,
If you could not laugh or even smile,
If your eyes they could not see.
If you could not walk upon your feet,
If your fingers were your thumbs,
If you could not sing a song so gay,
I would still love you the same.
If you were a little boy or
Maybe someone else,
If your legs they couldn't run and play,
Nor could you hear nor speak your name,
If you did not love me as I love you,
I would still love you the same.

Children, You Complete Me

Finding Fulfillment In Motherhood

in Children Poems

Words can hardly describe
how much you mean to me,
the love I felt inside
when you looked up at me.
Your perfect little fingers
your tiny little toes,
made hearts around you linger
and long to hold you close.
Your beautiful, innocent face,
those shining blue eyes,
made my world a better place
much bluer were the skies.
My little red-haired boy
his freckles they do dance.
He's always got a story,
makes us laugh at every chance.
My curly blonde-haired girl,
such spirit she possesses.
Her little mind just swirls
with all those little questions.
Children, you complete me.
I could not ask for more.
Thank you, God, for giving me
two children I adore.

Poem About Children Being A Mother's World

in Children Poems

When you were born,
I found true love,
A love like no other,
Like I've never felt before.

My eyes wide open,
Along with my arms,
I vowed to keep you safe
And keep you out of harm.

I promised to fight,
And that I will do.
You are worth every battle
And every ounce of my strength too.

In my arms I will keep you.
You are all my entire world.
Number one, you will always be,
My happy, beautiful girls.

Magical Wishes

By Richard M. Deets
Published: December 2008

in Poems for Kids

If I were a magician with dancing eyes,
I’d grant all your wishes for a smile.
Sunny skies full of waltzing butterflies,
New friends to share your toys (for a while).

Two big purple teddy bears that speak,
Poodles that laugh, blue noodles that sigh,
Silly little mice dressed in pink boots that squeak,
Five polka dotted ice cream cones a mile high.

A dozen daisies dancing in a velvet case,
Triple rainbows after each gentle rain,
A magic mirror pool to reflect your pretty face,
And seven pennies for wishes not too plain.

I would give you twenty pop-up clowns,
Candy Leprechauns counting pick-up sticks,
Unicorns to ride in parades through glass towns,
Colorful floating bubbles (just for kicks).

Furry little kittens to tickle your cheeks,
Fourteen canaries dressed in turquoise tights,
A pocketful of sweets to last you four weeks,
Three little piglets in fields of flowers flying kites,

Gold tickets for all the rides at your favorite sites,
Fifteen princes to carry all your stuff,
A blinking magic carpet for special flights,
And play rooms that tidy in a single puff.

I would hand you the world on a silver string
And listen to all the children laugh and sing.

A Mother's Words

By Joanne S. Walker
Published: February 2006

in Children Poems

She is my heart, he is my soul,
And without them I am not whole...
She gave me strength, made me grow,
And once he came, my heart was full...
I gave them life, but it took them to
Make me live-- there is nothing for those two I would not give...
It is because of them that I have finally learned what love truly is....

Poem About A Mother's Love

in Children Poems

My child, you are so sweet.
Your eyes are as blue as the morning sky,
your hair is as red as a beautiful rose,
and your skin as pale as snow...

My child, I love you so.
I thank God for your presence every day,
as I hold you in my arms to comfort you,
when you get scared...

My child, you are my escape.
You show how to be free,
and I know that you will always be there...

My child, I love you dear.
As I hold you close to my heart,
I will protect you my child....

Poem From Mother To Her Child

My child need not shed a tear
My child you have nothing to fear
My child I am always near
My child is my darling dear
My child only has love to give
My child only knows how to forgive
My child never fusses or puts up a fight
My child loves me with all of her might
My child does the best she can do
My child, my love for you is true

Precious Little Children

By Ron Zupsic
Published: February 2006

in Children Poems

Little children are a treasure
Their worth you cannot measure
In terms of money or gold.

Their voices are the melody
That vibrates deep inside of me
Worth their weight, a thousand fold.

Their eyes so brightly shining
They are the silver lining
That brightens up my day.

I couldn't live without them
More priceless then any gem
My loneliness they chase away.
