Mother's Day 2021 Poems

Mystery Mom

Mom, your love is a mystery:
How can you do it all?
You’re always there with the perfect fix
For my problems, big and small.

Your love protects me day after day,
So I’m fearless, safe and sound.
I feel that I can do anything
Whenever you’re around.

Mom, your love is a mystery,
I haven’t got a clue
Why you love me all time,
But I’m very glad you do!

By Joanna Fuchs

What "Mother" Means

"Mother" is such a simple word,
But to me, there’s meaning seldom heard.
For everything I am today,
My mother’s love showed me the way.

I’ll love my mother all my days,
For enriching my life in so many ways.
She set me straight and then set me free,
And that’s what the word "mother" means to me.

Thanks for being a wonderful mother, Mom!

Guiding Light Mom

Mom, from the time I was really young,
I realized I had someone...you,
who always cared,
who always protected me,
who was always there for me no matter what?
You taught me right from wrong,
and pushed me to do the right thing,
even when it was hard to do.
You took care of me when I was sick,
and your love helped make me well.
You had rules,
and I learned that when I obeyed them,
my life was simpler, better, richer.
You were and are
the guiding light of my life.
My heart is filled with love for you,
my teacher, my friend, my mother.

A Thank You Note

You have told me

All the things

I need to hear

Before I knew I needed to hear them

To be unafraid

Of all the things

I used to fear,

Before I knew

I shouldn’t fear them.

Lang Leav

Never Enough

Sometimes I know the words to say to give thanks for all you've done,

but then they fly up and away as quickly as they come.

How could I possibly thank you enough, the one who makes me whole,

the one to whom I owe my life, the forming of my soul.

The one who tucked me in at night, the one who stopped my crying,

the one who was the expert at picking up when I was lying.
