Christian Mothers Day Poems

And on that last Mothers Day,
when the birch leaves
fluttered pale gold,
and the magpies chortled
in the garden,
and the children gathered
round the big bed
clutching the presents
(all edible)
that they knew you'd share,
You looked into their eager faces
and their cards (hand made)
and said:
'I'm so lucky.
So lucky to have
my lovely family all around me'.
And your eyes sank deep in their bank of pillows,
your back bent into a question mark,
your knees making a tent of the doona.
The books that lined your room,
you'd read again and again:
'I've usually forgotten what happens,
but they're always pleasantly familiar'.
The children opened the sugared almonds
(your favorites for as long as I can remember)
You handed them round the circle,
sucking yours gingerly:
'Don't want to break these teeth
now that Malcolm's not round to fix them'.
Eight weeks later
pneumonia allowed you a graceful exit.
It was your eighty eighth birthday.

You were the center of our universe
The mother of us all
You gave to us your everything
We only need to call
And soon your strength was tested
Though you put up such a fight
For from a distant spiritual land
The angels called you in the night
For someone up in heaven
Looked down upon the land
And chose mom for her strength
To come and give a hand
He knew that her legacy
That she had left behind
Would withstand the pain and grief
Over a period of time
For she had fulfilled his prophesy
Spreading love, honor, and hope
She instilled in those she left behind
The ability to understand and cope

She knew
all I was hoping for
was a little time with you all.
She knew
if the day was bright and sunny
he would be out riding his bike
and the girls would be busy soaking up the sun.
You would inevitably have work to do
whether it was changing the spark plugs
on one of our half-dead vehicles
or mending the fence
to keep our squirrel-crazy bassett hound from escaping.
She knew
I would probably plant flowers by myself.
I love planting flowers
but, I can do that any day.
Today I wanted to spend with those
who have made me a mother.
She knew
if she dropped the temperature
down into the 40's
you would all surely
seek the warmth of the house.
She knew
that a light drizzle
of ice-cold rain
would ensure your company
throughout the day.
As I curl up on the couch
with all of you surrounding me
and I listen to the predictable bickering
over the popcorn bowl,
I silently thank her
for giving me the gift I wanted most
for Mothers Day.
My family.
I'm glad she knows me so well.
Thank you Mother Nature.
Happy Mothers Day!

I reached for your hand, It wasn't there
I needed your heart, you didn't care
I was born to you, you couldn't love me
I was a mistake, you needed to be free
I don't blame you, life dealt you a bad deal
You never knew love, and could not heal
Abandoned yourself, a very young child
You needed your freedom, to be wild
Trapped like a wild animal all your life
So much burden to have children and be a wife
Made bad choices, abuse was all you knew
The worst of mankind is what you drew
You never healed from being a kid
I couldn't understand back then, things you did
My biggest fear growing up, was being like you
I was so broken, but finally pulled through
You couldn't accept my love till you got old and sick
I wanted your love through then and thick
I took care of you till the very end, my heart breaking
I needed your love, and it was finally there for the taking
So I want you to know if you can see me up there
You will always be in my heart, I'll always care
Do I forgive you, I'm haunted by losing you again
I feel so lucky for the short time, before it had to end
It's been two years now, I still carry the pain
I've always loved you, and it wasn't in vane
The cemetery is painful, I know you aren't there
But I can talk to you, please know I care.
Your life was tragic and so was mine
I've broken the curse and continue to shine
I hope you have, a wonderful mothers day
You're with God now, and not others prey
So I say goodbye, once again for now
I'll see you again, this I vow!

A mother's love, pure and true,
Guides us through life, all we do.
She nurtures and cares, through joy and strife,
Her unwavering love is the centerpiece of life.

The heart of a mother, filled with love,
Endless devotion, sent from above.
She touches our hearts, with every embrace,
A constant reminder of her unconditional grace.

The strength of a mother, unwavering and true,
Unmatched by any, no matter what we go through.
She stands by our side, through thick and thin,
A constant support, through thick and thin.

The beauty of a mother, a reflection of love's glow,
Her smile brightens the world, as love begins to flow.
The depth of her love, felt in every moment,
A mother's love, a precious gift, forever potent.

Medium Poems

A mother's love is always kind,
Her gentle touch, a soothing bind,
Her arms, a haven in distress,
Her love, a constant endlessness.

She laughs with you when times are bright,
She comforts you in darkest night,
Her whispers calm your deepest fears,
Her love sustains, through joy and tears.

A mother's love is pure and true,
A priceless gift, forever new,
A bond that nothing can replace,
A loving presence, full of grace.

Thank you, Mom, for all you do,
For always being there for me,
For being my guide and my friend,
For loving me unconditionally.

You put my needs above your own,
You sacrifice and work so hard,
You teach and guide me on life's path,
You truly are a loving star.

Your wisdom and your humor too,
Your patience, grace and tender care,
Have enriched my life in every way,
And taught me how to love and share.

So on this special day, I say,
Thank you for all that you've done,
Your love and presence are a treasure,
And I'm grateful to be your son/daughter.

God bless all mothers everywhere,
Who bear and raise the children with care,
Who nurture and guide, with love and grace,
And teach them to follow the good, embrace.

May they find strength to carry on,
When the load feels too heavy or long,
May they feel peace in their hearts and minds,
And joy in the gifts that each day finds.

May they know that their work is blessed,
And that their love is never suppressed,
May their children rise up to honor and bless,
And may they find rest, in God's sweet caress.

So we thank you, Lord, for all mothers dear,
And pray that you'll bless them year after year,
With health, joy, peace, and love galore,
And grace to carry on, forevermore.

Long Poems

In honor of mothers everywhere,
We sing a song of love and care,
But this one's for the Christian mom,
The one who's strong, devout and calm.

The one who taught us who He is,
And brought us up in righteousness,
Who held our hands to lead the way,
And taught us how to pray each day.

She showed us how to serve and give,
And in her kindness, we would live,
She spent her life to help us see,
The God she knew so intimately.

She cooked and cleaned, she hugged and kissed,
She bandaged wounds and soothed our hiss,
She always had a listening ear,
And wiped away our every tear.

With every breath, she sacrificed,
And in her heart, she always prized,
Her faith in Him who came to save,
And made us strong and unafraid.

Though we're grown and far away,
Her love still guides us night and day,
Her prayers still lift us up on high,
And help us reach the sky.

So in this moment, we confess,
Our love for her and our blessedness,
For all the ways she shaped our lives,
And taught us how to thrive.

We thank God for this Christian mom,
The epitome of love and grace,
For all the ways she showed us how,
To walk with Him and live for now.

May He bless her heart and soul,
And keep her always in His fold,
And may we follow in her ways,
And honor her all our days.
