M - O - T - H - E - R
"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.
To Lead A Girl To Womanhood
Open her eyes
to the blessings around her;
Show her that beauty and
goodness surround her.
Help her to trust in the future,
not fear it.
Teach her that dreams are the
wings of the spirit.
Guide her with wisdom and
gentle persuasion
For she is God's pleasure
His flower of creation.
Author Unknown
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
Richer Than Gold
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 (1869-1954)
Mother's Hands
Dear gentle hands have stroked my hair
And cooled my brow,
Soft hands that pressed me close
And seemed to know somehow
Those fleeting moods and erring thoughts
That cloud me day,
Which quickly melt beneath their suffrage
And pass away.
No other balm for earthly pain
Is half so sure,
No sweet caress as filled with love
Nor half so pure.
No other soul so close akin that understands,
No touch that brings such perfect peace as Mother's hands.
W. Dayton Wedgefarth
For Such As You Mother
For such as you, I do believe,
Spirits their softest carpets weave,
And spread them out with gracious hand
Wherever you walk, wherever you stand.
For such as you, of scent and dew
Spirits their rarest nectar brew,
And where you sit and where you sup
Pour beauty's elixir in your cup.
For all day long, like other folk,
You bear the burden, wear the yoke,
And yet when I look into your eyes at eve
You are lovelier than ever, I do believe
Herman Hagedorn

No Thank You
Enough, by Carbon Argo
"In hopes that my Mother will never have to see her child sad."
Before I was born
In her arms
She held me every night
Gave me breath
Gave me love, then
She gave me life
When I was young
In her arms
She taught me what was right
Gave me truth
Gave me love, then
She gave me life
When I was youth
In her arms
She gave me freedoms fright
Gave me chance
Gave me love, then
She gave me life
when I was grown
in her arms
She gave me guiding light
Gave me space
Gave me love, then
She gave me life
When She was old
In her arms
She gave me one last night
I gave her a hug,
I gave her my love, then
I gave her all I had
Back
When I Saw You by, Danielle Biddle,
CA
When I saw you
I was afraid to meet you
When I met you
I was afraid to like you
When I liked you
I was afraid to love you
Now that I love you
I'm afraid to lose you
Submitted by Michael Moore
The first day I said hi
you didn't understand
The first time I cried
you didn't understand
The times that I stayed out late....
You didn't understand
When you seen all my friends,
You didn't understand...
But when I say I love you
You'll always understand
Not A Poet...
Hire a poet to write a custom made poem from
things your mother has said she likes, cares about, is feeling, or what
you think is something that is uniquely her that she would be flattered
to see in a poem about her.
Thanks - Lyle, Olympia - WA
