Mom, you're a wonderful mother,

So gentle, yet so strong.

The many ways you show you care
Always make me feel I belong.

You're patient when I'm foolish;

You give guidance when I ask;
It seems you can do most anything;
You're the master of every task.

You're a dependable source of comfort;

You're my cushion when I fall.
You help in times of trouble;
You support me whenever I call.

I love you more than you know;

You have my total respect.
If I had my choice of mothers,
You'd be the one I'd select!

Mystery Mom

Mom, your love is a mystery:

How can you do it all?
You’re always there with the perfect fix
For my problems, big and small.

Your love protects me day after day,

So I’m fearless, safe and sound.
I feel that I can do anything
Whenever you’re around.

Mom, your love is a mystery,

I haven’t got a clue
Why you love me all time,
But I’m very glad you do!

 Guiding Light Mom

Mom, from the time I was really young,

I realized I had someone...you,
who always cared,
who always protected me,
who was always there for me no matter what.
You taught me right from wrong,
and pushed me to do the right thing,
even when it was hard to do.
You took care of me when I was sick,
and your love helped make me well.
You had rules,
and I learned that when I obeyed them,
my life was simpler, better, richer.
You were and are
the guiding light of my life.
My heart is filled with love for you,
my teacher, my friend, my mother.

What "Mother" Means

"Mother" is such a simple word,

But to me there’s meaning seldom heard.
For everything I am today,
My mother’s love showed me the way.

I’ll love my mother all my days,

For enriching my life in so many ways.
She set me straight and then set me free,
And that’s what the word "mother" means to me.

Thanks for being a wonderful mother, Mom!

Without You

Mom, without you, there would be no me.

Your love, your attention, your guidance,
have made me who I am.
Without you, I would be lost,
wandering aimlessly,
without direction or purpose.
You showed me the way
to serve, to accomplish, to persevere.
Without you, there would be an empty space
I could never fill, no matter how I tried.
Instead, because of you,
I have joy, contentment, satisfaction and peace.
Thank you, mom.
I have always loved you
and I always will.

My Miracle Mother

Mom, I look at you

and see a walking miracle.
Your unfailing love without limit,
your ability to soothe my every hurt,
the way you are on duty, unselfishly,
every hour, every day,
makes me so grateful
that I am yours, and you are mine.
With open arms and open heart,
with enduring patience and inner strength,
you gave so much for me,
sometimes at your expense.
You are my teacher,
my comforter, my encourager,
appreciating all, forgiving all.
Sometimes I took you for granted, Mom,
but I don’t now, and I never will again.
I know that everything I am today
relates to you and your loving care.
I gaze in wonder
as I watch you being you—
my miracle, my mother.

Wise Mother

You didn’t talk a lot, Mom;

“I love you” was pretty rare,
But when I needed mothering,
You were always there.

I could always count on you, Mom

To do what’s good and right.
I’d see your wisdom and the truth,
So we'd rarely have to fight.

You were strong enough, yet gentle enough

To be the perfect mother;
 If I could search the whole wide world,
I wouldn’t pick any other.
