My Favourite Mother’s Day Poetry

Mother’s Day is such a important event in our calendar.  A time to show your mother how important she is to you and an opportunity to thank her for all that she has done for you.

I hope you enjoy reading this heartfelt collection of Mother’s Day poems which I have selected to celebrate Mothers everywhere.

Who ran to help me when I fell, and would some pretty story tell, or kiss the place to make it well?
My Mother.

Ann Taylor

 

Wonderful Mother

God made a wonderful mother,

A mother who never grows old;

He made her smile of the sunshine,

And He moulded 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

 

A Mother’s Love

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.

John Greenleaf Whittier

 

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.

I Had a Mother

You may have tangible wealth untold;

Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.

Richer than I, you can never be,

I had a mother who read to me.

Strickland Gillilan
