Heartfelt Poems for Mom on Mother's Day

Mother's Day comes once a year. Some think that if they buy their mother flowers and a card that they have fulfilled their obligation for the rest of the year. If we would only comprehended a small part of what our mothers did for us as children. How they would literally die for us if needed. We would realize that one day is not sufficient. Mother's Day should be a time to remind us that we have been neglecting our duties as sons and daughters. This relationship is sacred let us honor our mothers.

73 Happy Mother's Day Poems From Sons and Daughters

1. Her Hands
- By Maggie Pittman
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2006
Do we ever stop to think of the infinite loving acts of kindness that our mothers have bestowed upon us?

Poem About All A Mother Does

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.

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.

Her hands were there to brush my hair, or straighten a wayward bow.
Her hands were often there to comfort the hurts that didn't always show.
Her hands helped hold the stars in place, and encouraged me to reach.
Her hands would clap and cheer and praise when I captured them at length.

Her hands would also push me, though not down or in harm's way.
Her hands would punctuate the words, just do what I say.
Her hands sometimes had to discipline, to help bend this young tree.
Her hands would shape and mold me into all she knew I could be.

Her hands are now twisting with age and years of work,
Her hand now needs my gentle touch to rub away the hurt.
Her hands are more beautiful than anything can be.
Her hands are the reason I am me.

2. Mommy
- By Gail M. Russellburg
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2006
A child expresses her love to her mother and regrets that she doesn't share it enough.

I Love You Mommy Poem

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.

A poem for Mother's Day written by a loving husband in honor of Mother's Day. Dedicated to Karen Faust.

Mother's Day Poem Written By Loving Husband

I know it's been a hard task,
the things we ask of you.
You should know you're very special
for all the things you do.

I know it's been a hard task,
the things we ask of you.
You should know you're very special
for all the things you do.

I'm thankful for a wife like you;
no one could take your place.
A heart like yours for those in need
is a thing one can't replace.

So thanks again for being there
and for all the things you do.
No man could be so lucky
to have a love like you!

Happy Mother's Day!

Let my eyes be massaged by your beauty.
Let my heart be warmed by your smile.
Let my ears always hear that you love me.
Let my lips kiss yours for a while.

Let my arms hold you close when you're sad.
Let my hugs make you warm when you're cold.
Let my love last as long as forever.
That way we will never grow old.

Let me promise you'll never be lonely.
Let me promise to always be true,
Please let me by happy for the rest of my life,
When I ask you, please say, "I do."

Hand in hand, we walk together.
God's grace warms us from above.
It's him I thank each day I wake
for blessing me with all your love.

The sunshine in my morning
and the bird that sings my song.
In this life, when I am troubled,
through God it's you who keeps me strong.

The wind beneath my wings
as this eagle takes to flight.
You are the stars that brighten up my sky
in the darkness of the night.

The mother of my children
and the air that gives me life.
My truest friend of all...
my heart, my soul, my wife.

5. How Grateful I Would Be To Have Just One More Day
- By Kathy J. Parenteau
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2013
I always wish for one more day. It hurts so much to lose a loved one. My mother was my everything, and she always inspired me to write. I miss you so much, Mom.

Missing Mother

If I could have just one more day and
wishes did come true,
I'd spend every glorious moment
side by side with you.

If I could have just one more day and
wishes did come true,
I'd spend every glorious moment
side by side with you.
Recalling all the years we shared
and memories we made,
how grateful I would be
to have just one more day.
Where the tears I've shed are
not in vain and only fall in bliss.
So many things I'd let you know
about the days you've missed.
I wouldn't have to make pretend
you never went away.
How grateful I would be to
have just one more day.
When that day came to a close
and the sun began to set,
a million times I'd let you know
I never will forget
the heart of gold you left behind
when you entered Heaven's gate.
How grateful I would be to
have just one more day.

6. To My Dearest Mother

To a Special Mother

My mother is a special part
Of all that's cherished in my heart,
She is my pearl, my soul, my mate;
She is the one to make life great.

My mother is a special part
Of all that's cherished in my heart,
She is my pearl, my soul, my mate;
She is the one to make life great.
She is an angel without the wings,
Who makes life special with the littlest things,

Whenever I'm in need of love,
She is there from the heavens above;
Whenever I'm in need of a shoulder,
There's no one as devoted as my mother.

Her presence and love have always been there,
Everything in her nature is to only care.
With every soft hug and kiss
The world seems more beautiful and blessed.

I'm sorry for all the times I caused you pain,
But after these brief storms my love still remains.
I love you so much,
I will love you forever-
I wrote your name on my heart
And it will stay there forever, and ever...

7. A True Angel
- By George W. Zellars

A son writes a poem to his mother in praise of her many virtues. This poem is cute and right on.

Poem From Son About All A Mother Does

A mother is special; she's more than a friend.
Whenever you need her, she'll give you a hand.
She'll lead you and guide you in all that you do,
Try all that she can just to see you get through.

A mother is special; she's more than a friend.
Whenever you need her, she'll give you a hand.
She'll lead you and guide you in all that you do,
Try all that she can just to see you get through.
Good times and bad times, she's there for it all.
Say head up, be proud, and always stand tall.
She'll love you through quarrels and even big fights,
or heart-to-heart chats on cold lonely nights.
My mother's the greatest that I've ever known.
I think God made my mother like He'd make his own.
A praiser, a helper, an encourager too,
nothing in this world that she wouldn't do.
To help us succeed, she does all that she can,
raised a young boy now into a man.
I want to say thank you for all that you do.
Please always know, Mom, that I love you.

8. God's Special Creation
- By Lenora McWhorter
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2018
An attempt to celebrate and honor motherhood and the role they play in all our lives.

Spiritual Influence Of A Mother

The hand that rocks the cradle
also makes the house a home.
It is the prayers of the mother
that keeps the family strong.

The hand that rocks the cradle
also makes the house a home.
It is the prayers of the mother
that keeps the family strong.

Mother rises early in the morning
and bathes her day in prayer.
She talks to God about her family
and places them in His care.

Mother communicates her love
in a thousand different ways.
When there's a need, she is there,
whether it is night or day.

Mother seasons life with love
and gives so much of herself.
God placed in her the best He had
and made her unlike anyone else.

When challenges come our way
and when trials block our view,
Mother kneels down beside her bed
and prays the family through.

Mother is God's special creation.
She is a light shining in the dark,
illuminating the path for her family
and pointing them toward God.

9. Roses For Mama
- By Lynn Casstevens
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2008
This is my first Mother's day without my mom. I always gave her flowers, and roses were her favorite. I wanted to do something for mama, so I wrote this poem for her. If this is your first Mother's day without your mother I hope this poem will bring you comfort.

Written by: Lynn Casstevens May 1, 2008
On the shores of Jubilee

First Mother's Day Without Mom

Lord, are there roses in your garden
On the shores of jubilee
Would you pick a dozen of your best
And deliver them for me?

Lord, are there roses in your garden
On the shores of jubilee
Would you pick a dozen of your best
And deliver them for me?
For you see, today is mothers' day
And I can't visit my mom
For it wasn't very long ago
The angels came and took her home.
So if there are roses in your garden
On the shores of Jubilee
Would you pick a dozen of your best
And deliver them for me?
Would you take them to my mother
And tell her that I love her.
Tell her that I miss her
In oh! So many ways
But I have joy in knowing
We'll meet again someday
And we'll pick roses together
On the shores of Jubilee..

10. Never Enough
- By Author Unknown
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2006
A daughter who is aware of the great debt she owes to her mother puts her gratitude into words.

Multiple people have claimed to be the author of this poem. The poem was certainly written before 2006. At this point it is impossible for us to determine who the true author is.

Poem Thanking Mom For Everything She's Done

Sometimes I know the words to say to give thanks for all you've done,
but then they fly up and away as quickly as they come.

How could I possibly thank you enough, the one who makes me whole,

Sometimes I know the words to say to give thanks for all you've done,
but then they fly up and away as quickly as they come.

How could I possibly thank you enough, the one who makes me whole,
the one to whom I owe my life, the forming of my soul?

The one who tucked me in at night, the one who stopped my crying,
the one who was the expert at picking up when I was lying.

The one who saw me off to school and spent sad days alone,
yet magically produced a smile as soon as I came home.

The one who makes such sacrifices to always put me first,
who lets me test my broken wings, in spite of how it hurts.

Who paints the world a rainbow when it's filled with broken dreams,
who explains it all so clearly when nothing is what it seems.

Are there really any words for this? I find this question tough.
Anything I want to say just doesn't seem enough.

What way is there to thank you for your heart, your sweat, your tears,
for ten thousand things you've done for oh so many years.

For changing with me as I changed, accepting all my flaws,
not loving 'cause you had to, but loving just because.

For never giving up on me when your wits had reached its end,
for always being proud of me, for being my best friend.

And so I come to realize, the only way to say,
the only thank you that's enough is clear in just one way.

Look at me before you see what I've become.
Do you see yourself in me, the job that you have done?

All your hopes and all your dreams, the strength that no one sees,
a transfer over many years, your best was to pass me.

Thank you for the gifts you give, for everything you do,
but thank you, Mommy, most of all for making dreams come true.

11. A Mother's Love
- By Kathryn Ann
- Published by Family Friend Poems March 2015
I wrote this for my 88 year old mother for Mother's Day!

Poem About A Mother's Love For Her Children

A mother gives her children
Stepping stones to the stars.
Her love is unconditional;
Her heart has no bars.

A mother gives her children
Stepping stones to the stars.
Her love is unconditional;
Her heart has no bars.

A mother teaches her children
To be confident and bold.
Her special love for her children ,
More valuable than silver or gold.

A mother picks up her children
And wipes away life's tears.
She scares away monsters in the night
And silences life's fears.

A mother celebrates
Her children's accomplishments in life.
She hurts and cries with them
When life brings times of strife.

A mother shares her love freely
With her tender loving way.
She grows more beautiful
To her children with each passing day.

Mother, I'm grateful
for all these things that you do,
And on this special Mother's Day,
I want you to know how much I love you.

12. No Charge
- By Brian A. Bendall
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2019
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.

My Childhood Memories Of Mom

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.

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.

Thank you for your pain at birth
That brought me to my life on Earth.
Thanks for all the time you spent
For cuddles and your nourishment.

Thank you for the stories read
As I lay cozy in my bed.
Thanks for your enlightenment
To solve new mysteries life had sent.

Thank you for the cures and care
When sickness caught me unaware.
Thanks for tucking me in tight
And kisses on my head, "Good night."

Thanks for comfort when I cried
And tissues used for tears you dried.
Thanks for courage to go on,
To see from night, a day will dawn.

Thanks for freedom that you gave
To go outside, the world to brave.
Thank you for the friends I'd meet
That helped with friendships I'd repeat.

Thank you for your help with school
And teaching me the Golden Rule.
Thanks for praise when I prevailed
And understanding when I failed.

Thanks for parties that you gave
And birthday cards I tried to save.
Thanks for meals I loved so much
And baking skills that few could touch!

Thank you for your help to write
My stories you helped bring to light.
Thanks for helping talents surface
That made me see my life had purpose.

Thanks for tears when I left home,
So I could make it on my own.
Thanks for tears when I returned
For visits that you long had yearned.

But now...

Your life I loved has run its course,
For time will take us all by force.
Your love for me, not kept inside,
And no conditions were applied.

So, thanks for all things, small and large,
Your love saw fit to do ... no charge.

13. Mother
- By Jodi L. Landes- Reimer
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2019
I love to write and wanted to write something special for my mom and for all the other mothers in the world. I am a mother of three, and as I look at my kids, it takes me back to when I was a young girl with my mom. I cherish her and am very blessed I had a mother like her.

The Support Of A Mother

A mother loves right from the start,
No matter if her children are near or far apart.
A mother gives never-ending love.
She gives us comfort and peace like a beautiful dove.

A mother loves right from the start,
No matter if her children are near or far apart.
A mother gives never-ending love.
She gives us comfort and peace like a beautiful dove.
For us she will always do her best,
Even when we put her patience to the test.
She wipes our tears,
Chases away our fears,
Encourages us to follow a dream,
No matter how far-fetched it may seem.
Her gifts can never compare to any other.
I am so honored to call her my mother.
Looking back on another year,
I was so lucky to have a mother so dear.
So Mom, on your special day, relax and enjoy
And always know that I couldn't have asked for any other
More incredible person to call my mother.
I love you, Mom!
Happy Mother's Day

Hello, my name is Miller Mottla, and I am 17 years old. This is a poem I wrote for my mom for Mother's Day. It's simple, witty, and more importantly, genuine. This piece is perfect to touch your mother at any time of the year and make her happy beyond words.

A Poem From Son To Mom

You tell me that you love me when I don't love myself.
You're the one who holds my hand when I need the most help.
You smile when you're sad to make me smile too.
You make my life so much better by everything you do.

You tell me that you love me when I don't love myself.
You're the one who holds my hand when I need the most help.
You smile when you're sad to make me smile too.
You make my life so much better by everything you do.

The first time you held me, I knew I was safe.
Being in your arms is still my favorite place.
Every second of my life I know that I will be loved,
Because God sent his most loving angel from above.

Your heart is so pure, your smile is so genuine.
You taught me how to love and how to be a gentleman.
You're the only girl in the world that I will ever need.
Thank you for teaching me how to love and believe.

You make my life so easy by making your life tough.
I could give you the world for that, but that wouldn't be enough.
Every day of my life I try to be like you,
Because the world would be a better place with someone else like you.

15. A Mother's Love
- By Yasmine Ellaz
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2018
I have always cherished my mother's love. She has pushed me to do better and become a strong person. My mother is my best friend, and after the disappointment and sorrow in which I have caused her in my past, she truly deserves to be recognized as the most inspiring parent. I want my story to capture the hearts of all the beautiful mothers out there who have held their daughters' hands throughout the hardship, agony, and darkness. A mother's love can never be replaced. We love you all dearly.

For A Mother Who Has Always Been There For Her Child

Mum, thank you for keeping me close to your heart.
Thank you for never allowing me to fall apart.
Thank you for holding me up for all these years,
But most of all, thank you for drying my tears.

Mum, thank you for keeping me close to your heart.
Thank you for never allowing me to fall apart.
Thank you for holding me up for all these years,
But most of all, thank you for drying my tears.
Thank you for teaching me how to be strong.
Thank you for showing me right from wrong.
When I fell down and had nowhere to go,
You held me close to your heart and called it home.
When the whole world let me down and left me astray,
You told me that tomorrow comes a new day.
Thank you for keeping me ashore through this mystic storm.
Thank you for carrying me until I was born.
I never told you how much you mean,
But through these words, hopefully you will see
You saved me from the fire and pain.
You walked me through every ounce of rain,
And I know that I have hurt you more than enough.
I have let you down and made life rough.
Even through this, you remained my only charm.
You protected me within your arms,
And for this, heaven must be under your feet.
I know that our hearts will always meet.
You managed to set my aching soul free.

My mom is my role model, and this poem was my way of telling her just how much she means to me.

Poem About All My Mother Has Done

You brushed my hair and tucked me in,
Made me laugh for hours on end.
You kissed my boo-boos when I fooled around.
Mommy, you never let me down.

You brushed my hair and tucked me in,
Made me laugh for hours on end.
You kissed my boo-boos when I fooled around.
Mommy, you never let me down.

You held my hand as I got my shots
Then took me for ice cream that hit the spot.
You bought me Polly Pockets and Barbies, too.
Mommy, there's no one quite like you.

You held my hand as I walked through the door,
Then you met my teacher as I stared at the floor.
You told me it'd be fun and I'd make friends too,
And for that reason, Mommy, I love you.

You listened to me talk about the drama and boys
Then taught me how to handle it with class and poise.
You spoke with wisdom and of things you know.
You love to hear me say, "Mommy, you told me so."

You love the Lord with all you heart,
And you're kind and gentle and pretty and smart.
If I could be anyone, I'd pick you,
'Cause, Mommy, the world would be better with two of you.

You've taught me so much, with more in store,
And with each day that passes, I love you more.

17. My Best And Favorite Girl
- By Ronald Doe
- Published by Family Friend Poems December 2008
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."

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

And how to say my ABC's,
How to say, "You're Welcome,"
"Thank You," and "Pretty Please."

You taught me "Our Father,"
And "Hail Mary, Full of Grace,"
And how to greet a neighbor
With a smile and embrace.
You taught me that all things
Come from Jesus up above.
But most of all, sweet Mother,
You taught me how to love.

You taught me that all leprechauns
Possessed a pot of gold
And that they had these unicorns
Back in the days of old.
You taught me that a fantasy
Could end up with a scream.
You taught me not to give up,
Not to give up on a dream.

You taught me words of wisdom
And tended to my every need.
You gave me all the tools
That a man needs to succeed.
You filled my world with laughter,
And you brightened up my world.
And these are the reasons why
You're my best and favorite girl.

18. Dear Mum
- By Chrissie Morris
- Published by Family Friend Poems November 2017
This poem is about giving my mum the credit that she deserves. I've put her through hell in the past, and we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I wouldn't change a thing, as it has made us the best of friends. I can't ever imagine my life without her. Love you, Mum! This one's for you.

Blessed To Have A Wonderful Mom

There's no one in this world
Who knows me quite like you.
If ever I'm in need,
You're the first one I turn to.

There's no one in this world
Who knows me quite like you.
If ever I'm in need,
You're the first one I turn to.

You're the reason that I'm here,
Blessed with life itself.
You have always cared for me,
In sickness and in health.

I think we've grown together.
We've laughed and we've cried,
But no matter what's been thrown our way,
You've always been by my side.

Although you're my mum.
You are also my best friend,
A friendship I am proud to say
Will never, ever end.

When I have my children,
I hope I'm half as good as you
At being a mum and friend to them,
No matter what they go through.

And whenever you need me, Mum,
My arms are open wide.
I'm blessed that I'm the only one
That's felt your heart beat from inside.

19. I Love You, Mum
- By Jessica Ashton
- Published by Family Friend Poems May 2009
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!

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.

20. My Mother
- By Sinitta Washington
- Published by Family Friend Poems February 2006
A child writes of the qualities that make her mother great.

Poem About What Makes A Great Mother

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.
