Mother

You mean so much to me...

Mother, you brought me up so lovingly,

with so much thought and care,

and set a fine example

that I'm always proud to follow..

You did the things that counted...

things I am thankful for today.

You have always given so unselfishly...

the values you've taught me,

the confidence you have given me

have all contributed to

make my life happy and full.

You helped me and encouraged me

to do my very best,

preparing me and showing me the way to

handle problems in life.

And when things weren't working out.

and I was very worried,

you cheered me and inspired me

to make a new beginning...

You understood and gave me hope

as no one else could do.

Mother, in a world of uncertainty,

nothing means more than knowing

your love and loyalty

only grow stronger

Mother

You always believed in me

I have so many reasons

to thank you mother,

for taking good care of me

when I was young.

For letting me know,

time and again,

that I could turn

to you for support

but most of all,

because you always

believed in me.

There were times when

my disappointments filled me

with self-doubt,

when I started to wonder

whether I'd ever reach

any of my goals.

But those were the times

when you encouraged me.

You told me that

I was a special person,

with character and abilities

to help me succeed.

You made me feel good

about myself and

inspired me to

keep on trying.

I believe in myself now

because you've always

believed in me.

Thank you Mum,

I love you.

Mother

Mother our relationship is so special to me

I hope that you know

how very much I love you,

and how much I appreciate

all that you have done for me...

Mother, I'm glad that we

can be opened and honest

with each other,

and I'm thankful that

there's nothing we can't talk about.

I'm glad that you've loved me enough

to let me choose my own dreams,

and I'm thankful that you've

offered me understanding

When I've made mistakes.

I'm glad that you've loved me enough

to allow me the room I need to grow,

and I'm thankful that we've grown closer.

I'm glad that we have such a

loving relationship,and

I am thankful that

you are my mother.

Mother

From seeds

You watered us.

As we sprouted

You helped us grow

With the warmth

Of your radiant love.

Along the way

You trimmed us

To keep us safe

From harm.

When we grew out of

Our little pods,

You replanted us,

Where you gave us hope

And showed us faith

That we may be able

To do for others

As you did for us.

-Jim Little-

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.

-Howard Johnson-

Mother

When you have a mother

who cares so much for you

that anything you want

becomes her desires

When you have a mother

who is so understanding that

no matter what is bothering you

she can make you smile

When you have a mother

who is so strong that

no matter what obstacles she faces

she is always confident in front of you

When you have a mother

who actively pursues her goals in life

but includes you in all her goals

you are very lucky indeed

Having a mother like this

makes it easy to grow up

into a loving, strong adult

Thank you for being this kind

of wonderful mother

Untitled

You have shown me how to give of myself

You have shown me leadership

You have taught me to be strong

You have taught me the importance of family

You have demonstrated unconditional love

You have demonstrated a sensitivity to people's needs

You have handed down to me the important values in life

You have handed down to me the idea of achieving one's goals

You have set an example, throughout your life

of what a mother and woman should be like

I am so proud of you

and I love you

Forever

-Susan Polis Schutz-

Mother

Whenever I have a problem, it

becomes our problem.

You support me in whatever decisions I make,

and even when I'm wrong, you stand besides me

because you realize that's when I

need you the most.

Your belief in me is so strong

that you've made me believe in myself.

Even though I am no longer a child,

you are still helping me to grow.

I can always depend on you,

not just because you're my mother,

but because you're also my friend.

-Sheilah D. Street-

Mother

You've given us so very much

in many special ways

In gentle words of comfort

and in loving words of praise

In taking time to talk awhile,

in trying to understand

In sharing in our greatest joys,

in helping when you can

And the thoughtfulness you always show

in everything you do

makes you the kind of mother

dearly treasured all year through.

-Unknown-

Mother

I appreciate the many prayers

you've whispered during

the worst moments in my life,

and the many hopes for my success

in all that I dreamed of.

I appreciate the kind wishes

that would make me so happy

and fulfilled,

and the gentle words

of encouragement

that were meant to strengthen

my quests.

I appreciate the moments of sorrow

you experienced during my failures,

and the little gestures of kindness

that always made me feel better.

I appreciate your acceptance,

your ability to understand,

and the sincere friendship

that always gave me such security.

I appreciate the wisdom

of all the lessons you taught,

and the meaning behind the words

"unconditional love."

I appreciate all you've done--

every word and gesture.

I know you've been the best there is--

a mother beyond all compare.

For all you've done...

thank you, Mom.

For all that you are...

I love you.

Mother

You are someone very special in my life

You've always tried to help make everything right with my world.

You've been there to laugh with me,

to be proud of me,

and to be happy for all the good things in my life.

And even more importantly,

you've shared my disappointments,

and listened as I worked out my thoughts and feelings,

about things that have troubled me.

You're a very important part of my world, and you always will be.

So I want to thank you now.

and tell you that I hope everything will always be right with your world too-

because I love you.

Mother

You are loving and caring,

always sharing.

You are spoiling and toiling,

shining and fair.

Your loves without question,

you're always there.

Many a warm moment you've taken to care.

You talk and you listen,

You give not receive.

For to live without you,

I could not perceive.

Your heart is so warm,

there's nothing compares,

with the love and honesty we've always shared.

Your loves from the heart,

so we're never apart.

Your eyes shine like silver,

your heart is pure gold.

A mother's love could never grow cold.

I guess through this poem, I'm trying to say,

That I love you mum on your special day.

-Wendy Hinson on Mother's Day-

A Wonderful Mother

GOD made a wonderful mother,

A mother who never grows old;

He made her smile of the sunshine,

And he molded 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-

Mothers are memories that last forever

We're more honest than two people can be

in front of you- I can be me.

When I was very young

you seemed so old

I always had to listen

to what I was told

But now that I'm older

I finally understand

what you had to say

made me what I am.

I want you to know

how lucky I feel

that what we have

is so very real.

All of the memories of the past

will last forever

They'll see me through my future

as a cherished treasure

-Beth Isenberg-

Mother

I believe you once were an angel

a soul as pure as gold

no other creature more pure

in the heavens to behold

I believe the Lord sent you here

to help me keep my faith

and with your love and honesty

to help me change my way

before I could crawl

you've taught me right from wrong

no matter how far I've strayed

in your heart you say I belong

I want to thank you mother

from the bottom of my heart

without your strength and courage

I would surely fall apart

not a kinder, sweeter mother

I believe this to be true

and I give thanks each night

to the Lord for him giving me to you

-Robert Hamill-

Mother

A thousand times I called you Mom,

You answered every call,

Regardless of my needs or wants,

... You filled it... big or small.

denied yourself those hidden wants,

So I could have my fun,

I never knew until I aged,

How motherhood was "done".

Today, my children ask of me,

much like I asked of you,

And, yet without a second thought,

"I'll do what I can do"

With due respect and countless thanks,

My heart these words come from,

No other woman in my life,

Means more to me than Mom.
