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.
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.
This poem greatly touched my heart. Because of this, I was encouraged to use my hands to do good and beneficial things instead of bad and to-the-hell things. So thank you for the author of...

If I could have just one more day and
wishes did come true,
I'd spend every glorious moment
side by side with you.
We all wish for one more day with the loved ones we've lost. I wish for one more day to be with my mum. She was one of the sweetest, most loving and caring mothers in the world. She was my...

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,
That was such a beautiful poem. Mothers truly are a blessing. Many of the feelings expressed here are so relatable . They do so much for us that "thank you" is just not enough but we can show...
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.
This is a touching poem from a daughter to mother showing all the little things to the big things that matter in life between a mother and daughter. I love this poem. It's so sentimental!...
Thank you, Mom...
for the love, strength, and care,
for in this world that is quite rare.
For being my guardian and my guide
I agree with you wholeheartedly Nan. I have two beautiful daughters with totally different personalities. I had them early in life and people often mistake them for my sisters. We laugh and...
You are the sunlight in my day.
You are the moon I see far away.
You are the tree I lean upon.
I am the author of this piece. I wrote it for my mother so many years ago for school. I had no idea it was published here or that it had had such a powerful effect. I'm honored. It's been a...
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.
A truly wonderful tribute poem to your Mom, Brian, one of the best I've ever read. There's nothing so good as a mother's touch, their patience, understanding, their heart and their love.
A mother gives her children
Stepping stones to the stars.
Her love is unconditional;
Her heart has no bars.
Wow, this is a very beautiful poem. I love it. I can tell this poem came from your heart.
The hand that rocks the cradle
also makes the house a home.
It is the prayers of the mother
that keeps the family strong.
This is beautifully expressed. The introductory lines carry so much truth to keep one pressing on to the end. I love this.
The tears, the years, the hurt, the fears,
The lies, the ties, the days, and goodbyes
And then the light shines through,
It's you.
When my grand daughter GRACE was born, the first thing I thought of was. "My Special Angel" It's been our song for 5 years. Now I find this poem. I will keep it and share with her when...
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.
This is a wonderful poem. It evoked a strong emotional response & made me think of my own wonderful mother. I very nearly teared up. I couldn't have written it any better. Well done.
If it wasn't for my mom I never would have made it in my life. I have always been a daddy's girl and wrote this to let my mom know how I really appreciate and love her even if it seemed I didn't.
Mom, I know we've been through a lot,
But to this day I have not forgot
All the things you have done for me.
Opening my eyes and letting me see
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.
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.
My wife is battling a terminal illness that beset on her suddenly a few months ago. Today is our 12th anniversary and I wanted to share my feelings with her. This poem might as well have been...
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?
Thank you for your lovely and thoughtful poem. My mother also loved roses, especially yellow roses. She passed away in April of 2010...just three months after my younger sister and only...
I was watching you sleep the other day
And prayed that it would last
The peace that rested on your face
I'd never seen in the past
Your words about mother brought tears to me. Three years ago, my mother passed away. She was 92+ at that time but very happy personality. Being the youngest child, I have seen her just...
A mom is a person to stand right
beside you until the very end.
She'll always be there for you,
no matter where or when.
It's a loving and inspiring poem. I loved it. The best poem I've ever read!
Analysis of Form and Technique
The one who brought me down to earth
And held me every day.
The one who gracefully gave me birth
And said, I love you in every way.
Very good usage of words. Rhyming pattern is good and the structure rocks. One of the best I've read so far. Keep on writing more!
I love her so much, my mother.
She's always in my heart.
Even though we argue,
we'll never be apart.
Mother - the loveliest word - gives bliss and peace not only to humans but also to wild life existing on this planet earth. This beautiful relationship starts even before the birth. The day...
