The Mother by Robert Service
Your children grow from you apart,
Afar and still afar;
And yet it should rejoice your heart
To see how glad they are;
In school and sport, in work and play,
And last, in wedded bliss
How others claim with joy to-day
The lips you… [ Read More ]

I Still Miss Her by Pam Shattuck
It seems like only yesterday
I sent a Mother's Day card away.
I didn't think it would be the last,
I signed it with love and mailed it fast.
Now that she has gone away,
It doesn't feel like Mother's Day.
There are no more chances to send a card,
To s… [ Read More ]

Someone's Mother by Robert Service
Someone's Mother trails the street
Wrapt in rotted rags;
Broken slippers on her feet
Drearily she drags;
Drifting in the bitter night,
Gnawing gutter bread,
With a face of tallow white,
Listless as the dead.

Someone's Mother in the dim
Of th… [ Read More ]

The Mother Of God by William Butler Yeats
The threefold terror of love; a fallen flare
Through the hollow of an ear;
Wings beating about the room;
The terror of all terrors that I bore
The Heavens in my womb.

Had I not found content among the shows
Every common woman knows,

Motherhood by Joaquin Miller
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 the cannon of battle-shot,
With a sword or noble pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or … [ Read More ]

As I Look Back... by Author Unknown
As I look back on my life
I find myself wondering...
Did I remember to thank you

For all of the times you were by my side
to help me celebrate my successes
and accept my defeats?
Or for teaching me the value of ha… [ Read More ]

The Sad Mother by Gabriela Mistral
Sleep, sleep, my beloved,
without worry, without fear,
although my soul does not sleep,
although I do not rest.

Sleep, sleep, and in the night

than a leaf of grass,
or the silken fleece of lambs.

May my flesh slu… [ Read More ]

My Mother by Claude McKay

Reg wished me to go with him to the field,
I paused because I did not want to go;
But in her quiet way she made me yield
Reluctantly, for she was breathing low.
Her hand she slowly lifted from her lap
And, smiling sadly in the old sweet way,

To My Mother by George Barker
Most near, most dear, most loved, and most far,
Under the huge window where I often found her
Sitting as huge as Asia, seismic with laughter,
Gin and chicken helpless in her Irish hand,
Irresistible as Rabelais but most tender for
The lame dogs and hurt birds th… [ Read More ]

With pricking shot he did not throughly more
To keep the pace of their first loving state.

Edgar Allan Poe
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 f… [ Read More ]

The Last Words Of My English Grandmother by William Williams
There were some dirty plates
and a glass of milk
beside her on a small table
near the rank, disheveled bed--

Wrinkled and nearly blind
she lay and snored
rousing with anger in her tones
to cry for food,

Gimme something to eat--

Monologue of a Mother by David Lawrence
This is the last of all, this is the last!

I must watch my dead days fusing together in dross,
Shape after shape, and scene after scene from my past
Fusing to one dead mass in the sinking fire

My mother loved her horses and
Her hounds of pedigree;

And mother reined her nag to view

Sonnet for Mother by John Matthew
Decked in blooms,
Swaddled in gold filigreed shrouds,
Smeared with perfumes,
She traveled into the clouds.

A life of love lived,
A life of more giving than taking,
Living a life of tears shed,
Turnings, and missed crossings.

She lies still… [ Read More ]

Audrey Hepburn
