10. Mother by Nikita Gill
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.

Mom, you’re the best person I’ve ever known,
A loving, dear friend of my very own,
A teacher and guardian, always alert,
To protect and heal me whenever I hurt.

Mom, have a Happy Mother’s Day!
12. If Angels Were Mothers by Joanna Fuchs

A better mom
Than you are to me!

When you’re a child, she walks before you,
To set an example.

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.

All that I ever am and hope to be,
I owe to my angel mother.

17. To My Mother by Edgar Allen Poe
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.
18. Rock Me to Sleep by Elizabeth Akers Allen
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 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!

Once upon a memory
Someone wiped away a tear
Held me close and loved me,
Thank you, Mother, dear.
20. Month of May by Anonymous
For all the diapers
that you changed,
For all the play dates
you arranged.
For all the trips
back and forth to school,
For cleaning all the spit-up
and the drool.
Why is there only
one Mother’s Day?
You should have at least gotten
the ENTIRE month of May!

Whose love is warm and true,
And home has always been “sweet home”
With a wonderful mother like you!

I heard it in the air of one night when I listened
To a mother singing softly to a child restless and angry in the darkness.

Let her have laughter with her little one;
Teach her the endless, tuneless songs to sing,
Grant her her right to whisper to her son
The foolish names one dare not call a king.
24. Wonderful Mother of Mine by Clyde Hager
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 there’s none that can compare
To my mother’s smile.

You are simply the best.

You’ve given me two things
One is roots
The other’s wings.
You’ve shown me to keep well-grounded
And yet still try
To raise my game
And reach for the sky.
27. A Mother Is Loving by Unknown
You are special and loving,
And the closest part of my Heart.
You’re an epitome of love and kindness,

No Mother quite like you.
You are so very thoughtful and caring,
And I just want to thank you, Mother,
For making my life brighter.

But I can feel the heaven inside your heart,
Keep me in that heaven, inside your heart,
I feel so blessed to get space over in your heart.

Even when I’m a pest.
She always takes good care of me
My mother is the best.
