Thanks for all the things you do!

 

Super Mom

Mom, you're a wonderful mother,

So gentle, yet so strong.

The many ways you show you care

Always make me feel I belong.

You're patient when I'm foolish;

You give guidance when I ask;

It seems you can do almost anything;

You're the master of every task.

                                        You're a dependable source of comfort;

You're my cushion when I fall.

You help in times of trouble;

You support me whenever I call.

I love you more than you know;

You have my total respect.

If I had my choice of mother,

You'd be the one I'd select!

Mystery Mom

Mom, your love is a mystery:

How can you do it all?

You’re always there with the perfect fix

For my problems, big and small.

Your love protects me day after day,

So I’m fearless, safe, and sound.

I feel that I can do anything

Whenever you’re around.

Mom, your love is a mystery,

I haven’t got a clue

Why do you love me all the time,

But I’m very glad you do!

Guiding Light Mom

Mom, from the time I was really young,

I realized I had someone...you,

who always cared,

who always protected me,

who was always there for me no matter what?

You taught me right from wrong,

and pushed me to do the right thing,

even when it was hard to do.

You took care of me when I was sick,

and your love helped make me well.

You had rules,

and I learned that when I obeyed them,

my life was simpler, better, richer.

You were and are

the guiding light of my life.

My heart is filled with love for you,

my teacher, my friend, my mother.

What "Mother" Means

"Mother" is such a simple word,

But to me there’s meaning seldom heard.

For everything I am today,

My mother’s love showed me the way.

I’ll love my mother all my days,

For enriching my life in so many ways.

She set me straight and then set me free,

And that’s what the word "mother" means to me.

Thanks for being a wonderful mother, Mom!

Best and Wisest Mom

Mom, I wish I had words to tell

How much you mean to me.

I am the person I am today,

Because you let me be.

Your unconditional love

Made me happy, strong, secure.

Your teaching and example

Made me confident, and mature.

In all the world, there is no mother

Better than my own.

You're the best and wisest person, Mom

I have ever known.

Without You

Mom, without you, there would be no me.

Your love, your attention, your guidance,

have made me who I am.

Without you, I would be lost,

wandering aimlessly,

without direction or purpose.

You showed me the way

to serve, to accomplish, to persevere.

Without you, there would be an empty space

I could never fill, no matter how I tried.

Instead, because of you,

I have joy, contentment, satisfaction, and peace.

Thank you, mom.

I have always loved you

and I always will.

Good Mother

Everyone has a mother.

Some are good, some bad.

Having you as a mother

Makes me peaceful, secure, and glad. 

I thank the dear Lord you’re my mother.

You give me everything I need.

In my life, I look to you, Mom,

To follow your every lead. 

My Miracle Mother

Mom, I look at you

and see a walking miracle.

Your unfailing love without limit,

your ability to soothe my every hurt,

the way you are on duty, unselfishly,

every hour, every day,

makes me so grateful

that I am yours, and you are mine.

With open arms and open hearts,

with enduring patience and inner strength,

you gave so much to me,

sometimes at your expense.

You are my teacher,

my comforter, my encourager,

appreciating all, forgiving all.

Sometimes I take you for granted, Mom,

but I don’t know, and I never will again.

I know that everything I am today

relates to you and your loving care.

I gaze in wonder

as I watch you being you—

my miracle, my mother.

Wise Mother 

You didn’t talk a lot, Mom;

“I love you” was pretty rare,

But when I needed mothering,

You were always there. 

I could always count on you, Mom

To do what’s good and right.

I’d see your wisdom and the truth,

So we'd rarely have to fight. 

You were strong enough, yet gentle enough

To be the perfect mother;

If I could search the whole wide world,

I wouldn’t pick any other. 

What Mother Means

“Mother” is such a simple word,

But to me there’s meaning seldom heard.

For everything I am today,

My mother’s love showed me the way.

You Let Me Know You Love Me

You let me know you love me

In so many different ways.

You make me feel important

With encouragement and praise.

You're always there when I need you

To comfort and to care.

I know I'm in your thoughts;

Your love follows me everywhere.

Thank you for all you've done

And given so generously.

I love you, my wonderful mother;

You're a heaven-sent blessing to me.

Your Love Is A Gift

Mom, your love is a gift to me.

No matter what I do,

Whatever challenge I inflict,

You always see me through.

You’re strong and steady as the earth,

Bringing peace amid the storm,

Tethering me to stability,

Your love keeps me safe and warm.

Without you, Mom, I’d fly away

From all that’s right and good.

“Could you help me, Mom?” I often ask.

“Yes,” you say; “I could.”

Your love is a gift, my marvelous mom.

You’re my link to sanity.

I often wish I were more like you,

And maybe, someday I’ll be.

I Can Count On You

Mom, whenever I feel weak,

I can count on you.

Your deep strength seems endless.

You let me draw on it,

you freely give it,

and I recovered.

Mom whenever I stray from the path,

I can count on you.

You’re here for me.

You help me find my way back

to what’s right

and honest and worthwhile.

Mom whenever I get

too wrapped up in me, me, me,

I can count on you.

You quickly bring me back to earth,

reminding me of the importance

of love and service to others.

Everyone should have

a role model like you, Mom.

I love you,

and I want you to know:

you can count on me.

A Mother's Love

Of all the special joys in life,

The big ones and the small ones,

A mother's love and tenderness

Is the greatest of them all.

I Learned From You

I learned about love from you,

Watching your caring ways.

I learned about joy from you

In fun-filled yesterdays.

From you, I learned forgiving

Of faults both big and small.

I learned what I know about living

From you, as you gave life your all.

The example you set is still with me

I'd never want any other.

I'm thankful for all that you taught me,

And I'm blessed to call you "Mother."

God Created Mothers

When God created mothers,

All as lovely as can be,

He made one extra special,

And saved her just for me!

Everything Mom

How did you find the energy, Mom,

To do all the things you did,

To be a teacher, nurse, and counselor

To me, when I was a kid.

How did you do it all, Mom,

Be a chauffeur, cook, and friend,

Yet find time to be a playmate,

I just can't comprehend.

I see now it was love, Mom,

That made you come whenever I'd call,

Your inexhaustible love, Mom,

And I thank you for it all.

Full of Love for Mom

From the time I was really young,

I knew you were there for me.

You showed me right from wrong

and taught me to do right,

even when it was hard.

When I was sick, you took care of me,

letting me know I would be okay.

You are my guiding light, Mom,

my rock, my strong foundation.

I respect and admire you.

My heart is full of love for you.

I’m so glad you’re my mother!

You Forgave Me

You forgave me for things I didn't do;

You forgave me for the bad things I did.

You loved me, no matter what, dear Mom.

I'm so happy to be your kid.

You forgive me all the time, dear Mom,

Then you guide me to a better way.

I'm blessed with your unconditional love;

I appreciate you every day.

A Thousand Thanks

Mother's Day brings to mind

The thousands of things you did for me

that helped make me happier,

stronger and wiser,

because I had you as a role model.

I'm grateful for all the times

you healed my hurts

and calmed my fears,

so that I could face the world

feeling safe and secure.

I'm thankful for all you showed me

about how to love and give--

lessons that now bring

so many blessings to me

each and every day.

Your sacrifices and unselfishness

did not go unnoticed, Mom.

I admire you, I respect you,

I love you.

And I'm so glad you're my mother!

Dear Mother 

Your arms were always open

when I needed a hug.

Your heart understood

when I needed a friend.

Your gentle eyes were stern

when I needed a lesson.

Your strength and love has guided me

and gave me wings to fly.

Nobody's Like You, Mom

Nobody's quite like you, Mom.

You're special in every way.

You cheer me up, you fill my cup

With tenderness, come what may.

Nobody loves me like you, Mom.

No matter what I do,

Good or bad, happy or sad,

You support me; You always come through.

Nobody's equal to you, Mom.

With you in my life, I'm blessed.

I love you so, and I want you to know

I think you're the very best!

Counting on Your Love

Mom, you gave me life

and made sure I was safe and happy.

You retrieved, reclaimed, and restored me

when I strayed or was lost.

Being able to count on your love

gives me peace and security.

I can't tell you enough,

give you enough, do enough

to show you how much you mean to me.

A Poem For My Mom

I want to write a poem for my mom

She’s terrific in every way.

No matter if I’m up or down,

She always knows what to say.

To fill my life with pleasure.

Every memory of time with you

Is one I’ll always treasure.

Extra Special Mom

A better mom than all the rest.

I’m thankful for all the things you do

I’m glad my mom is extra special to you!

On Mother’s Day, I want you to know

You’re the greatest mom, and I love you so much.

There’s one more thing I want to say:

Rock me to sleep

Rock me to sleep, Mom.

My life as a mom is full of joy,

but it gets more complicated

chaotic, harder every day,

full of stress and fatigue.

I am often nostalgic

for childhood days

you made so happy,

simple, and safe.

I daydream about you, Mom

filling our lives

with fun, contentment, and peace.

I need that so much now.

I need to slow down, relax, and rest.

Rock me to sleep, Mom.

Love Is A Mother’s Gift

When God made mothers, He took great care

To fill their hearts with love so rare.

Their children are their greatest prize;

You can see the great love in your mother’s eyes.

Love, love is a mother’s gift

To their precious children, their hearts lift.

Warm, tender, and giving love

That grows them up healthy and happy.

Thank you, Mother, for all you give

To help me grow and to help me live.

I will love you forevermore,

My mother, my mom, whom I adore.

Love, love is a mother’s gift

To their precious children, their hearts lift.

Warm, tender, and giving love

That makes us healthy and happy.

Wonderful Mother of Mine

I pray every night to our Father above,

For that wonderful mother of mine.

I ask Him to keep her as long as He can

That wonderful mother of mine.

There are treasures on earth,

That made life seem worthwhile,

But none can compare

To my mother’s smile.

Nobel Prize for Mothers

Mom, you are a shining star.

Though the world doesn’t know your name.

You have no fancy title

Like Baroness or Dame.

Mom, you really are a star,

My mother, mentor, and friend.

A Nobel Prize for motherhood,

That is what I’d recommend!

And if I won the lottery

I’d share my win with you

I’d take you, Mom, on a spending spree

Each day the whole year through!

You may not be famous,

As your face is known to few.

But Mom, I think you are wonderful

And I’m so proud of you!

Wonderful Mother

The heart of a home is a mother

Whose love is warm and true,

And home has always been “sweet home”

With a wonderful mother like you!

Mother

Your arms were always open

when I needed a hug.

Your heart understood

when I needed a friend.

Your gentle eyes were stern

when I needed a lesson.

Your strength and love have guided me

and gave me wings to fly.

Short Mother’s Day Poem

For all you do,

you do with love.

You are so special,

A gift from above.

And with all my heart,

I want to say,

I love you, Mom.

Special Bond

Mothers and Daughters

They always share a special bond

Though near or far apart

The words that would describe it

Are written on the heart.

A Mother

A mother wraps

her love around the heart

of her daughter,

keeping each beat steady

through the rhythm of life,

until wings take shape,

and it’s time for the soul

to take flight.

Mother & Daughter

It’s a special bond that spans the years

through laughter, worries, smiles, and tears.

A sense of trust that can’t be broken,

a depth of love sometimes unspoken.

A lifelong friendship built on sharing,

hugs and kisses, warmth and caring.

Mother and daughter, their hearts as one –

a link that can never be undone.

Dear Mom

Since the day I was small

Till the day I became tall

Since I began understanding things

Till the day I got my own wings

Your love has never fallen short

You have been my only support.

I want to hold you tight and hug you

I just want to say thank you.

A Mother

When you’re a child, she walks before you

To set an example.

When you’re a teenager, she walks behind you

To be there should you need her.

When you’re an adult, she walks beside you.

So that as two friends you can enjoy life together.

My Mother Kept a Garden

My Mother kept a garden,

A garden of the heart.

She planted all the good things

That gave my life its start.

She turned me to the sunshine

And encouraged me to dream.

Fostering and nurturing

The seeds of self-esteem.

I am my Mother’s garden.

I am her legacy.

And I hope today she feels the love

Reflected from me.

The Bond

The bond between a mother and a son is a special one

It remains unchanged by time or distance.

It is the purest love, unconditional and true.

It is understanding any situation and forgiving any mistake.

Just One Mom

Hundreds of dewdrops greet the dawn,

Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,

Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn.

But only one mother the whole world over.

Mom, You’re the Best

There is no doubt Mom,

you’re the best.

The one and only.

I’m proud to be your son.

And I’d like to thank you for

the loving things you’ve done.

We Go Together Like Mother And Son

Peanut butter and jelly,

moon and star,

these iconic pairings

can’t compare to what we are.

We go together like mother and son

a match made in heaven.

We’re stuck together

whether you’re seven or eleven!

When two things fit

like the Earth and the sun,

they can only be

mother and son.

God’s Masterpiece

God took the fragrance of a flower,

The majesty of a tree,

The gentleness of morning dew,

The calm of a quiet sea.

The beauty of the twilight hour,

The soul of a starry night,

The laughter of a rippling brook,

The grace of a bird in flight.

Then God fashioned from these things,

A creation like no other,

And when his masterpiece was through,

He called it simply – Mother.

God’s Helpers

God could not be in every place

With loving hands to help erase

The teardrops from each baby’s face,

And so He thought of mother.

He could not send us here alone

And leave us to a fate unknown;

Without providing for His own,

The outstretched arms of mother.

God could not watch us night and day

And kneel beside our crib to pray,

Or kiss our little aches away;

And so He sent us mother.

And when our childhood days began,

He simply could not take command.

That’s why He placed our tiny hand

Securely into mothers.

The days of youth slipped quickly by,

Life’s sun rose higher in the sky.

Full grown were we, yet ever nigh

To love us still was a mother.

And when life’s years shall end,

I know that God will gladly send,

To welcome home her child again,

That ever-faithful mother.

Her Love is Like an Island

Mother’s love is like an island,

In life’s ocean vast and wide

A peaceful, quiet shelter

From the wind, the rain, the tide.

‘Tis bound on the north by Hope,

By Patience on the West,

By tender Counsel on the south

And on the east by Rest.

Above it like a beacon light

Shine Faith, and Truth, and Prayer;

And thro’ the changing scenes of life

I find a haven there.

Mother’s Love

A Mother’s love, a Mother’s care,

A Mother’s sigh, a Mother’s prayer

A Mother’s work, and Mother’s day,

Leaves little time for any play.

A Godly Mother with Godly love,

Is treasure from God above,

A Godly Mother with Godly care,

Has God’s help when she says a prayer.

A Mother’s Love

There are times when only a Mother’s love

Can understand our tears,

Can soothe our disappoints

And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a Mother’s love

Can share the joy we feel,

When something we’ve dreamed about

Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother’s faith

Can help us on life’s way,

And inspire in us confidence

We need from day to day.

For a Mother’s heart and a Mother’s faith

And a Mother’s steadfast love,

Were fashioned by the Angels

And sent from God above.

Best Friends

Best friends forever, Mom and me

picking flowers and climbing trees.

A shoulder to cry on, secrets to share

Warm hearts and hands that care.

Thank God for Mother’s Love

There is no love, like a mother’s love,

no stronger bond on earth…

like the precious bond that comes from God,

to a mother, when she gives birth.

A mother’s love is forever strong,

never changing for all time…

and when her children need her most,

a mother’s love will shine.

God bless these special mothers,

God bless them, everyone…

for all the tears and heartache,

and for the special work they’ve done.

When her days on earth are over,

a mother’s love lives on…

through many generations,

with God’s blessings on each one.

Be thankful for our mothers,

for they love with a higher love…

from the power God has given,

and the strength from above.

My Miracle Mother

Mom, I look at you

and see a walking miracle.

Your unfailing love without limit,

your ability to soothe my every hurt,

the way you are on duty, unselfishly,

every hour, every day,

makes me so grateful

that I am yours, and you are mine.

With open arms and open hearts,

with enduring patience and inner strength,

you gave so much to me,

sometimes at your expense.

You are my teacher,

my comforter, my encourager,

appreciating all, forgiving all.

Sometimes I took you for granted, Mom,

as I watch you being you—

my miracle, my mother.

To comfort and to care.

I know I’m in your thoughts;

Everything Mom

How did you find the energy, Mom,

To do all the things you did,

To be a teacher, nurse, and counselor

To me, when I was a kid.

How did you do it all, Mom,

Be a chauffeur, cook, and friend,

Yet find time to be a playmate,

I just can’t comprehend.

I see now it was love, Mom,

That made you come whenever I’d call,

Your inexhaustible love, Mom,

And I thank you for it all.

Counting on Your Love

Mom, you gave me life

and made sure I was safe and happy.

You retrieved, reclaimed, and restored me

when I strayed or was lost.

Being able to count on your love

gives me peace and security.

I can’t tell you enough,

give you enough, do enough

to show you how much you mean to me.

My Mother

Who fed me from her gentle breast,

And hushed me in her arms to rest,

And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?

My Mother.

When sleep forsook my open eye,

Who was it sung sweetly hushaby,

And rocked me that I should not cry?

My Mother.

Who sat and watched my infant's head,

When sleeping in my cradle bed,

And tears of sweet affection shed?

My Mother.

When pain and sickness made me cry,

Who gazed upon my heavy eye,

And wept for fear that I should die?

My Mother.

Who dressed my doll in clothes so gay,

And taught me pretty much how to play.

And minded all I had to say?

My Mother.

Who taught my infant lips to pray,

And love God’s holy book and day.

And walk in Wisdom’s pleasant way?

My Mother.

And can I ever cease to be

Affectionate and kind to thee,

Who was so very kind to me?

My Mother.

Ah, no! the thought I cannot bear;

And if God please my life to spare,

I hope I shall reward thy care,

My Mother.

Who ran to help me when I fell,

And would some pretty story tell,

Or kiss the place to make it well?

My Mother.

When thou art feeble, old, and gray,

My healthy arm shall be thy stay,

And I will soothe thy pains away,

My Mother.

And when I see thee hang thy head,

Twill be my turn to watch thy bed.

And tears of sweet affection shed,

My Mother.

For could our Father in the skies

Look down with pleased or loving eyes,

If ever I could dare despise

My Mother.

Dear Mom

Dear Mom,

I will love you forever;

And forever, you will be

The most wonderful mother,

You mean everything to me.

I thought of buying you flowers

In the usual way

But I knew you would prefer

A forever bouquet!

Rock Me to Sleep

Backward, turn,

O Time, in your flight,

Make me a child again just for tonight!

Mother, come back from the echoless shore,

Take me again to your heart as of yore;

Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care,

Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair;

Over my slumbers, your loving watch keep;—

Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!

Backward, flow,

O tide of the years! I am so weary of toil and of tears,—

Toil without recompense, tears all in vain,—

Take them, and give me my childhood again!

I have grown weary of dust and decay,—

Weary of flinging my soul-wealth away;

Weary of sowing for others to reap;—

Rock me to sleep, mother — rock me to sleep!

Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue,

Mother, O mother, my heart calls for you!

Many a summer the grass has grown green,

Blossomed and faded, our faces between:

Yet, with strong yearning and passionate pain,

Long I tonight for your presence again.

Come from the silence so long and so deep;—

Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!

Over my heart, in the days that are flown,

No love like mother love ever has shone;

No other worship abides and endures,—

Faithful, unselfish, and patient like yours:

None like a mother can charm away the pain

From the sick soul and the world-weary brain.

Slumber’s soft calms o’er my heavy lids creep;—

Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!

Come, let your brown hair, just lighted with gold,

Fall on your shoulders again as of old;

Let it drop over my forehead tonight,

Shading my faint eyes away from the light;

For with its sunny-edged shadows once more

Happy will throng the sweet visions of yore;

Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep;—

Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!

Mother, dear mother, the years have been long

Since I last listened to your lullaby song:

Sing, then, and unto my soul, it shall seem

Womanhood’s years have been only a dream.

Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace,

With your light lashes just sweeping my face,

Never hereafter to wake or to weep;—

Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!

To My Mother

O thou whose care sustained my infant years,

And taught my prattling lip each note of love;

Whose soothing voice breathed comfort into my fears,

And round my brow hope’s brightest garland wove;

To thee my lay is due, the simple song,

Which Nature gave me on life’s opening day;

To thee these rude, these untaught strains belong,

Whose heart indulgent will not spurn my lay.

O say, amid this wilderness of life,

What bosom would have throbbed like thine for me?

Who would have smiled responsively?—who in grief,

Would ever have felt, and, feeling, grieved like thee?

Who would have guarded, with a falcon eye,

Each trembling footstep or each sport of fear?

Who would have marked my bosom bounding high,

And clasped me to her heart, with love’s bright tear?

Who would have hung around my sleepless couch,

And fanned, with anxious hand, my burning brow?

Who would have fondly pressed my fevered lip,

In all the agony of love and wo?

None but a mother—none but one like thee,

Whose bloom has faded in the midnight watch;

Whose eye, for me, has lost its witchery,

Whose form has felt the disease’s mildew touch?

Yes, thou hast lighted me to health and life,

By the bright luster of thy youthful bloom—

Yes, thou hast wept so oft o’er every grief,

That wo hath traced thy brow with marks of gloom.

O then, to thee, this rude and simple song,

Which breaths of thankfulness and love for thee,

To thee, my mother, shall this lay belong,

Whose life is spent in toil and care for me?

Mother

The water of her womb, your first home.

The body she pulled apart to welcome you to the world.

The spirit in you she helped grow with all she knew.

The heart that she gave you when yours fell apart.

You are her soft miracle.

So she gave you her eyes to see the best in the worst.

You carry your mother in your eyes.

Make her proud of all she watches you do.

Mother O' Mine

If I were hanged on the highest hill,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

I know whose love would follow me still,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

If I were drowned in the deepest sea,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

I know whose tears would come down to me,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

If I were damned of body and soul,

I know whose prayers would make me whole,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

To My Mother

Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,

The angels, whispering to one another,

Can find, among their burning terms of love,

None so devotional as that of "Mother,"

Therefore by that dear name I long have called you—

You who are more than mother unto me,

And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you

In setting my Virginia's spirit free.

My mother—my own mother, who died early,

Was but the mother of myself; but you

Are mother to the one I loved so dearly,

And thus are dearer than the mother I knew

By that infinity with which my wife

Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life.

Thank You, Mom

I just want to thank you.

For your warm smiles

Your encouragement

Your words of wisdom

That still guides me today

Thanks for everything

Sonnets are Full of Love, and This My Tome

Sonnets are full of love, and this is my tome

Has many sonnets: so here now shall be

One sonnet more, a love sonnet, from me

To her whose heart is my heart’s quiet home,

To my first Love, my Mother, on whose knee

I learned love lore that is not troublesome;

Whose service is my special dignity,

And she my loadstar while I go and come.

And so because you love me, and because

I love you, Mother, I have woven a wreath

Of rhymes wherewith to crown your honored name:

In you, not fourscore years can dim the flame

Of love, whose blessed glow transcends the laws

Of time and change and mortal life and death.

Mother

Your love was like moonlight

turning harsh things into beauty,

so that little wry soul

reflecting each other obliquely

as in cracked mirrors . . .

beheld in your luminous spirit

their own reflection,

transfigured as in a shining stream,

and loved you for what they are not.

You are less of an image in my mind

than a luster

I see you in gleams

pale as star-light on a gray wall . . .

evanescent as the reflection of a white swan

shimmering in broken water.

A Mother

A mother wraps

her love around the heart

of her daughter,

keeping each beat steady

through the rhythm of life,

until wings take shape,

and it's time for the soul

to take flight.

Mother's Day

A Mother loves right from the start.

She holds her baby close to her heart.

The bond that grows will never falter.

Her love is so strong it will never alter.

A Mother gives never-ending Love.

She never feels that she has given enough.

For you, she will always do her best.

Constantly working, there's no time to rest.

A Mother is there when things go wrong.

A hug and a kiss to help us along.

Always there when we need her near.

Gently wipes our eyes when we shed a tear.

So on this day shower your Mother with Love.

Gifts and presents are nice but that is not enough.

Give your Mother a day to have some peace of mind.

Be gentle, be good, be helpful, be kind.

Happy Mother's Day.

Mother

Your love was like moonlight

turning harsh things into beauty,

so that little wry soul

reflecting each other obliquely

as in cracked mirrors . . .

beheld in your luminous spirit

their own reflection,

transfigured as in a shining stream,

and loved you for what they are not.

You are less of an image in my mind

than a luster

I see you in gleams

pale as star-light on a gray wall . . .

evanescent as the reflection of a white swan

shimmering in broken water.

God’s Special Creation

The hand that rocks the cradle

also makes the house a home.

It is the prayers of the mother

that keep 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,

The 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.

Tribute to Mother

A picture memory brings to me;

I look across the years and see

Myself beside my mother’s knee.

I feel her gentle hand restrain

My selfish moods, and know again

A child’s blind sense of wrong and pain.

But wiser now, a man gray-grown,

My childhood’s needs are better known.

My mother’s chastening love I own.

Thank You for Mother's Day

Thank you from the heart

For all you've done for me

I bless the Lord for giving me

The best mother there could ever be.

If I knew as a Child

If I knew as a child what I know now, Mom,

I probably wouldn't have made things

so hard for you.

I would have understood

that you were looking out for my best interest.

even though it may not have seemed so at the time.

I would have known how difficult it is to let go,

to stand back and let someone you love

learn from their mistakes.

I would have realized

how fortunate I was to have a mother

who was always there for me,

even after an argument,

even after I'd said things

I shouldn't have.

While it's too late for a lot of things

it's not too late for me to tell you

that I appreciate how loving you are,

how giving you've always been

and that even though

I may not always be good at showing it,

I love you very much.

Dear Mother

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

You're the world's best mom,

And I deeply love you.
