Famous Mother’s Day Poems
Let’s look into some of the most famous poems about Mother’s Day of all time and express your love for your mom through these timeless classics.
1. A Mother’s Love
by Helen Steiner Rice
A Mother’s love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away…
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking…
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems…
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation…
A many splendored miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God’s tender guiding hand.
2. To My Mother
by Edgar Allan Poe
Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of “Mother,”
Therefore by that dear name I long have called you—
You who are more than mother unto me,
And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you
In setting my Virginia’s spirit free.
My mother—my own mother, who died early,
Was but the mother of myself; but you
Are mother to the one I loved so dearly,
And thus are dearer than the mother I knew
By that infinity with which my wife
Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life.
3. Thank You, Mom
by Christina Rossetti
Thank you, pretty cow, for the clover you bring,
For the milk and the butter, too, that you bring;
Every morning, so early, you come to the stile,
With your “moo, moo,” to say “Good morning,” and to beguile
My dear little baby, whom I love so well,
With your dainty bits of clover, and the stories you tell.
Thank you, pretty hen, for the eggs you have laid;
Each one is a treasure, and all of them are made
Into custards, or puddings, or cakes of some kind,
For my dear little baby, who is always so kind
To his feathered friends, who lay eggs for him each day,
And give him a greeting, as he passes on his way.
Thank you, little bee, for the honey you bring,
For the sweets that you gather in the fields as you sing
Your song of contentment, while you work away,
And fill up the comb with the golden nectar each day.
My dear little baby, with his mouth so sweet,
Loves the honey you bring him, and the flowers you greet.
Thank you, mother dear, for the love you bestow,
For the care and the kindness that you always show;
For the words that you speak, and the tears that you shed,
When I am in trouble, and my heart is full of dread.
For the love that you give me, so true and so bright,
I thank you, dear mother, both by day and by night.
4. Mother o’ Mine
by Rudyard Kipling
If I were hanged on the highest hill,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
If I were drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
If I were damned of body and soul,
I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
5. Mother’s Day
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
The bravest battle that ever was fought,
Shall I tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find it not,
‘Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or thought
From mouths of wonderful men!
But deep in a walled-up woman’s heart—
Of woman that would not yield,
But patiently, silently bore her part—
Lo, there is the battlefield!
No marshaling troops, no bivouac song,
No banner to gleam and wave;
But oh, these battles, they last so long—
From babyhood to the grave.
Yet, faithful still as a bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled-up town—
Fights on and on in endless wars,
Then silent, unseen, goes down.
Oh, ye with banners and battle-shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise!
I tell you the kingliest victories fought
Were fought in those silent ways.
Oh, spotless woman in a world of shame,
With splendid and silent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you came—
The kingliest warrior born!
