Poems for a Mother-A true expression of your love

The best gift that any fond mother hopes to receive on ‘Mother’s Day’ is a display of love and affection from her precious children. And what better way to express these emotions than to put them on paper in words that will convey your utmost love and respect for your mom. I have picked a few of my favorite Mother poems that you can use to convey your feelings to your mother on her birthday, ‘Mother’s Day’ or any other occasion. You really do not need a special occasion to express your love to your mother. So, when you feel your mother needs a gentle reminder of your love for her, send her a card with one of these poems written in your hand and you will brighten her life for days to come. Some of the poems have been written by anonymous authors while others have been penned down by well-known poets. I admire all these poets who have immortalized Mother’s love through their creativity by penning down these beautiful lines. 

 
1.“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.
2.If  I could give you diamonds
for each tear you cried for me.
if I could five you sapphires
for each truth you’ve helped me see.
If I could give you rubies
for the heartache that you’ve known
If I could give you pearls
for the wisdom that you’ve shown.
Then you’ll have a treasure, mother,
that would mount up to the skies
That would almost match
the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes.
But I have no pearls, no diamonds,
As I’m sure you’re well aware
So I’ll give you gifts more precious
My devotion, love and care.

3.A mother’s love determines how
We love ourselves and others.
There is no sky we’ll ever see
Not lit by that first love.

Stripped of love, the universe
Would drive us mad with pain;
But we are born into a world
That greets our cries with joy.
How much I owe you for the kiss
That told me who I was!
The greatest gift–a love of life–
Lay laughing in your eyes.
Because of you my world still has
The soft grace of your smile;
And every wind of fortune bears
The scent of your caress.
4. Mommy, I love you
For all that you do.
I’ll kiss you and hug you
‘Cause you love me, too.

You feed me and need me
To teach you to play,
So smile ’cause I love you
On this Mother’s Day.
5. “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.
6.You are my mother and my friend,
Which is unusual.
Somehow our characters must blend:
Your wisdom and my will.

I turn, and you are there for me;
I speak, you understand.
I feel cared for, but also free;
You lead but don’t command.
I’m fortunate that I was born
To someone just like you;
I love you, not just as my mom,
But for what you are and do.
7. God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded 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

A reciprocation of love to someone who gave you ‘life’-'Mother’s Day gifts’

Till you become a parent yourself, it is tough to ascertain the wonderful pleasures and pains of parenthood. And when you finally experience the pleasure of being a mother or a father, it becomes easier to appreciate the sacrifices that our parents have made in rearing us up. Even though it is impossible to repay the gift of  ‘life’ that our mothers have given us, we can show our love and appreciation to our mothers by making them feel pampered on ‘Mother’s Day’

The best gifts are the ones that are personalized because they reflect feelings that come straight from the heart and therefore, they touch the right chord in the recipient’s heart. As far as mothers are concerned, the price of the gift is a factor you need to be least worried about. Mothers are the most selfless creatures in this world as far as their children are concerned and no mother is materialistic enough to gauge the price of a gift brought to her by her child. What you should rather strive to achieve is to gift her something that makes her feel nostalgic of the lovely times spent with you when you were a kid or anything that makes her feel that you value her feelings and sentiments. Flowers are, and remain, one of the most favorite gifts for ‘Mother’s Day’. As a gift, flowers can never go wrong. They convey much more than any gift can and the sight of lovely, blooming flowers is sure to enthrall anyone. Another lovely ‘Mother’s Day’ gift that I personally recommend is a set of lovely picture frames (you may select the ones you like from a wide range available in the market) with pictures of you and your mother inserted inside. If you wish to pamper your mother, then a set of exotic spa products is a perfect gift to rejuvenate her senses.  A gift of jewelry is a top favorite gift for woman, and is sure to be the same with your mother. A string of elegant pearls is an ideal jewelry gift for a mother. There are so many different varieties of pearls available in the market that you will surely find something that suits your mother’s taste and your budget. An exclusive perfume or a designer handbag can also be considered if you are looking for something unique to gift to your mother. Keep your mother’s unique style and personality in mind when you pick a gift for her and view the gift with her eyes, rather than your own.    There are many other different ways of saying ‘I love you’ to your mother on ‘Mother’s Day’. You have to choose the one that you are sure will make your mother happy. I believe that most mothers, like me, are happiest on ‘Mother’s Day’ for the simple fact that their children have cared to remember them on this special day. A gift for your mother, therefore, is like the icing on the cake.
