Mother Daughter Poems

Mom Poems From Daughters

Mother and daughter relationships are complex because the daughter looks to her mother as a role model of what a woman is. As she grows up and sees other women who live their lives differently, she chooses between imitating her mother or other significant influences in her life. As an adolescent she may come to look down on her mother and think that other woman are much better. Of course she is not a fully grown woman so she does not understand the challenges and choices that her mother faces. It is only when she herself becomes a woman that she can fully appreciate her mother.

    You made everything so perfect, a childhood truly blessed,
    Our hair combed nice and neatly and our clothes pristinely pressed,
    Every meal on the table - breakfast, lunch and tea,
    How did you ever do it all while still making time for me?
