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

    Do we ever stop to think of the infinite loving acts of kindness that our mothers have bestowed upon us?


    • By Maggie Pittman
    • Published: July 2006 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.

    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

    What indeed would a mother not do for her child?

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

    I would walk without my shoes to the end of the Earth.

  6. 4. Motherhood

    After putting my children to bed one night I wanted a moment to myself. It had been a normal chaotic, busy day and I have always used writing, especially poetry, as an outlet to relax. I sat on my porch with my journal and started thinking about something unique I could do for all the moms I knew (friends and family alike), that wouldn't be costly for Mother' Day-a week away. I wrote this poem, rolled each in ribbon and put them in their mailboxes. I was told it was the best present ever received.

    How wonderful a mother's love, and how many ways can we describe it>


    • By Leotha Brown II
    • Published: July 2006 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.

    A mother's love is a wonderful love packaged from heaven with special care.
    A mother's love is like no other love that you can compare.
    A mother's love is purified by angels and flows directly from her soul.
    A mother's love is justified by God, and by his hands he created the mold.

    My mother is my lifeline; she is my complete savior.

  11. 9. When I Think About My Mum

    Raised by a truly amazing mum, I know just how wonderful mothers are. Words are never truly enough to describe a mum, it's only fitting to try. I penned this a while back. God bless you mum, I love you.

    When I think about my mum,
    I just can't help but smile;
    The beauty of her loving heart,
    The easy grace in her style.

    I consider myself very fortunate to have been raised in a loving family. Space prevents me from going into great detail of the love my Mother gave me growing up, but here's a sample.

    I've tried to write so many times,
    But it's been hard to say in rhymes.
    I'll try once more and hope you'll see
    Just what your love has meant to me.

  14. 12. She's Our Mother

    When I wrote this poem, I was thinking about all the mothers, me being a mother, my daughters being a mother, and our mothers being mothers. Whether we bear a child or not, we still end up being a mother to someone, and we each have a mother somewhere. With fear, reluctance, and a racing heart, a mother raises her child to soon be released to a dangerous and unpredicted society, and with God we gain faith and encouragement for them. So this poem is for all our mothers.

    She's a gift to her children
    Our strong devotion each day
    A hand in our hand
    A breath of fresh air along the way

  16. 14. My Best And Favorite Girl

    My mother took care of my sister Kelly (who was paralyzed in a diving accident at age 16) for twenty-five years. The doctor did not expect my Kelly to live for 6 months. When she died, the doctor called my mother and said, "I didn't think Kelly would live 6 months, there is no doubt in my mind that she lived for twenty-five years because of your unselfish and unconditional for her." This is why my mom will always be "My Best And Favorite Girl."

    You brought me my first toy,
    My first bike and baseball glove.
    You filled my heart with joy,
    And you filled my life with love.

  21. 19. My Mom

    My mom raised my sister and me virtually on her own because my father was rarely there to help. We lost my sister and her two children back in 2004, and neither my mom nor I have ever been the same. Losing a sister, niece and nephew was devastating, but I cannot imagine losing a daughter and two grandchildren. Now I'm all that she has. She has been there for me through good times and the bad. I can't thank her enough, so this poem is dedicated to my mother, Stella. I love you, Ma.
