Mother’s Day Poems

No One More Lovely

She walks in elegance whose heart
Is filled with beauty, like the spring
Her gentleness is but a part
Of all the joy her graces bring.
The things she taught me at her knee
Are honesty and faith and love,
No one is lovelier than she
Whose soul is joined with things above.

Charlotte Carpenter

Angels of God

They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight still gleams in their tresses;
His glory still gleams in their eyes.

Charles M. Dickinson

In All Honor

Every man, for the sake of the great blessed Mother in Heaven, and for the love of his own little mother on earth, should handle all womankind gently, and hold them in all Honor.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

What is a Mother

What is a Mother
She’s someone who shares
In all of your problems,
Your joys and your cares-
Someone who gives you
Right from the start
The warmth and the loves
Of her motherly heart-
Someone who’s loyal
And helpful and dear
And seems to grow more so
As year follows year-
Life is much brighter
And happier, too
Because there are Mothers-
Mothers like you.
