Poems for Moms

The bond that a child develops with his mother can never be severed. You grew as an organism inside her for nine months. She carried you and sustained you, sharing her sustenance with you through your umbilical cord. When you are born the cord is severed. It is never severed in her heart. That bond lasts forever. As we grow up we become our own people and may come to forget that woman who nurtured and loved us. But remember this, she will never forget you and never stop loving you.

  1. 1. Her Hands


    • By Maggie Pittman
    • Published: July 2006

    Her hands held me gently from the day I took my first breath.
    Her hands helped to guide me as I took my first step.
    Her hands held me close when the tears would start to fall.
    Her hands were quick to show me that she would take care of it all.

  5. 3. What I Would Do For You

    I would do just about anything you'd ask,
    For you, there's nothing I wouldn't do; there's no such task.

    • By Leotha Brown II
    • Published: July 2006

    A mother's love is a wonderful love packaged from heaven with special care.
