A Tribute to Mothers

Mother's Day Poems
Mother’s day is fast approaching; and in my wish to honor my beloved mother and all the mothers in the world, I have penned these three poems especially dedicated to them.
May all of you have a blessed day with your mothers wherever they may be - this Mother’s day, and always.
I have written the first poem below with my mother in mind. She lives in another province with my father and three nephews. A retired public school teacher, my mother has opted to work part-time as a college professor, as she still enjoys teaching. She also tends to her garden and takes good care of the three young boys who are with them.

For mothers who live far away
(especially dedicated to my Mama)
Although we have been apart
for quite a while now,
I want you to know
that neither distance
nor length of time
can ever separate us
in thought and affection
as we will always be
bound with
the powerful cords of love;
enwrapped in
the steadfast arms of hope;
and shielded with
the tough armor of faith.
Hope this special day
finds you
thinking of me.
May you find comfort
in this short piece
especially penned
for you;
and may joy fill your heart
as you read each word
delighting
in its meaning and truth.

For those whose mothers have passed away
I can feel the delightful warmth
of the breeze
as it caresses my skin;
I can see the leaves
taking their rightful place
against the backdrop
of spring sunshine.
Soon my garden will turn into
a brilliant kaleidoscope
of shades and shapes
heralding the special day
dedicated to mothers
from all over the world-
the day when
mothers, young and old
are honored.
But while some people
celebrate this day
in the presence
of their own mothers,
you would
be spending it
with but a shadow
of her memories-
long buried yet, unforgotten.
Your mother who
might have gone ahead, yet
will always stay in your heart
forever a part of you.
But that won’t stop you
from remembering her
and honoring her
in your thoughts.
Nothing can ever take away
the legacy of love
she had bequeathed
upon you, which,
has made you withstand
the harsh blows
that life after her demise,
has given.
So in commemoration of this day,
dwell in your mother’s memory;
delight in her presence
in your heart;
and take pleasure listening
to her silent laughter
and lovable voice
in your mind.
Reflections of a Mother is another hub dedicated to mothers. It offers personal insights into the wonders and joys of this noble calling called motherhood.

A Poem for Young Mothers
Who says mothers have
to be old and gray
to be wise?
Although you are but
on the threshold of motherhood,
smiles of understanding
and looks of wisdom
are vividly etched
on your youthful face.
Who then is fool enough
to judge you for your age
saying you have no right
to be called a mother
when age is not
the only absolute key
to the making of
commendable mothers?
There are no schools
that certify mothers;
no licensure tests
to regulate their
mothering practice;
What mothers have
are their genuine love
for their offspring;
their sincere desire
to give them their best;
and their fervent drive
to shield them from harm.
Motherhood is not confined
to a mother’s age and background;
but it slowly blooms
with years and wisdom.
It has its own amazing way
of molding ladies,
young and old alike,
to become ordinary people
playing remarkable roles
in rearing good citizens
who are themselves
capable of being
good parents in the years to come.

Oh, thank you so much. I am actually very new here and this is my first hub. I noticed that the last poem is not complete-it lacks 3 lines, will have to edit it in a while.
Nice poems and welcome to hubpages.
Thank you, BristolBoy, I highly appreciate your comment.
I respect and appreciate your thoughts. Here are few suggestions:
1. Use more text capsules with headings if your content is too long.
2. Use Picture capsule with caption.
3. Use Amazon and ebay capsules.
4. Use RSS and News Capsules.
These are important from SEO Point of view.
Welcome !
Oh, thank you so much. Will have to sign up with ebAy and Amazon. I was really kinda experimenting when I posted this, as this is all new to me. I am used to the publishing style of Helium, AC and Triond, but I am still familiarizing with the hubpages features, so I am browsing through great hubs to learn the techniques.
Thank you very much for your comments.
V ery nice my dear you have done wonderful set of honoring Mother's everywhere...I shall be looking forward to more from you...G-Ma :O) Hugs & Peace
Thank you very much.
Well expressed, lovely heart felt sentiments describing your views on motherhood.
Do you write songs as well?
All the best -
christine
Thank you so much. I have written a few song lyrics published in helium and triond.
I love my mother very much, so I also love to read tributes to mom's. Hope you have a wonderful mother's day this year.
Thank you, SweetiePie. My mom is my inspiration for writing the first poem, as she lives in another province and I only see her every Christmas. Thank you very much for visiting my hub.
Mom's Rock at least mine still does, she rocks slower than she did in her youth but it is all good. Great tribute here. Thanks so much for sharing.
My mother lives far away. I really enjoyed that poem. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you too, C.S. and Dottie for reading and commenting, please extend my advanced Mother's Day greetings to your repective moms.
Loved your Mother's Day poems Melody. Very touching and comforting!
That's very heart-warming, Darlene, thank you so much.
Lovely set of poems, you must have a terrific set of mom's.
:) Sheri

Thanks, Sheri and Raj, for dropping by and for commenting.
Excellent thoughts, lovely poems - remember these beautiful words "God made a wonderful mother, And He gave that dear mother to me"..thanks a lot :)
That's a wonderful saying, Kiran...and very apt for my mother indeed, thank you very much.
These poems are really touching tributes to mothers young, distant and already departed. So very happy that you joined hubpages so that we will get to read more of your creations.
Peggy, thanks for reading and commenting. Glad to be here too, and to have found more friends.
Delightful to read you. I'm new here too and welcome you to the fun!
Thanks, frogyfish, and welcome too.
You have written three really great poems. I can relate to them all. The middle one made me cry thinking about my grandma who passed away in 2007.
Hi Jamie, glad you loved these poems. Sorry to hear you lost your grandma two years ago. Thanks for dropping by and for your caomment.
Nice poems
Thanks a lot sunesra.
I love this one..Thanks...i miss my mom.. She's cool..
Glad you like it too, best-merchant-in. Please send my best wishes to your mom... am sure she's cool and mighty proud of you to.
great presentation. lovely writing
Thank you very much, sukkran.
Goodway, Mother's Day or not, mothers ought to be loved and appreciated, as even our whole lifetime is not enough to express our thankfulness and gratitude to them.
For me, honoring my mom with extra attention and appreciation during Mother's Day is simply making one more day of the year (in addition to her birthday and other occasions) more special for her.
The most important thing to remember is that we need to love, honor, and respect our mothers everyday of our lives.
Thank you very much.
now if you could just give me some gift ideas lol
scottyy11, if you're into cooking, the best way to your mom's heart is through her stomach lol. Seriously though, anything that you think can wonderfully express your appreciation of her would be perfect.
If you want to give a tangible present, it need not be expensive. I guess, something that she really needs coupled with a bouquet of flowers would always be safe.
Thanks a lot for dropping by.
On the comming mother's day, the one who has abandoned their mothers in old age houses must visit them and take them at their homes permanantly and keep their loving mothers with theirselves along with their spouse, wife and children. The concept of old age houses must be abolished. Its the duty of children to take care of their old parents as they take care of their wives and children. Parents (specially old) must be given a high priority over other family members.
What a beautiful tribute to mothers everywhere. I am new to this also. Happy Mothers Day to all!
Thank you very much for commenting, usmanali81and Amy. Happy Mother's Day too.
I am lucky to have my Mum close by and we have a great relationship. Simply put your poems reflect the love we have for our mothers, near or far. here or passed over to the beyond. their spirit and love guide us, for no matter how old we may grow we are and always will be our Mums cherished child
