Mothers Day Poems

Close your eyes and wish for the one thing

You cannot do without, and when you do,

Near your heart you'll find it, always there,

Treasure that is dear but not so rare,

Held in the mesh that all your dreams flow through.

In truth, no gift more happiness can bring,

And so this day I give my love to you.

"Happy Mother's Day" means more

Than have a happy day.

Within those words lie lots of things

We never get to say.

It means I love you first of all,

Then thanks for all you do.

It means you mean a lot to me,

And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means

That I am thinking of

Your happiness on this, your day,

With pleasure and with love.

M is for the miracle of Being.

O is for its origin in love.

T is for the tenderness of seeing.

H is for a home no wind can move.

E is for the ecstasy of living.

R is for the recklessness of giving.

A mother's arms are made of tenderness

and children sleep soundly in them.

-- Victor Hugo
