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 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.

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

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

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.

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.
