Mother’s Day Poems

• “M" is for the million things she gave me,
  "O" means only that she's growing old,
  "T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
  "H" is for her heart of purest gold;
  "E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
  "R" means right, and right she'll always be,
  Put them all together, they spell
  "MOTHER,"
  A word that means the world to me.
  -Howard Johnson
• Only One Mother
  Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky,
  Hundreds of shells on the shore together,
  Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
  Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather.
  Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
  Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
  Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
  But only one mother the world wide over.                                                                                      Author Unknown
• Wonderful Mother
  God made a wonderful mother,
  A mother who never grows old;
  He made her smile of the sunshine,
  And He molded her heart of pure gold;
  In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
  In her cheeks fair roses you see;
  God made a wonderful mother,
  And He gave that dear mother to me.
  -Pat O'Reilly
• To My Mother
  For all the times you gently picked me up,
  When I fell down,
  For all the times you tied my shoes
  And tucked me into bed,
  Or needed something
  But put me first instead.
  For everything we shared,
  The dreams, the laughter,
  And the tears,
  I love you with a "Special Love"
  That deepens every year.
