Positive Mother-Child Relationships Poems

Published: July 2018

What is love? In Hebrew, the language of the Bible, the word for love is ahava which shares the same root as hav to give. The effort that mothers put in to parenting their children causes wellsprings of love to spring forth from their hearts. The more we give to our children, the more love we will feel for them. We would do well to remember that all loving relationships whether platonic, romantic, or with family members must have giving at its center for the relationship to flourish.

Mother, A Cradle To Hold Me
- By Maya Angelou
Famous Poem

When we are small, our mothers are everything to us. Her arms were made to cradle us and provide for all our needs. At first, we don’t want to be separated from her. As time passes, a mother helps us become more independent. Even in our teenage years, we still love our mother even though we don’t show it well, and we finally come to realize the wisdom she has. This is a great Mother’s Day poem that thanks her for her guidance and unconditional love. No matter our stage of life, whether an infant, young child, teenager, or adult, our mother’s love for us is unconditional.

in Famous Family Poems

It is true
I was created in you.
It is also true
That you were created for me.

It is true
I was created in you.
It is also true
That you were created for me.
I owned your voice.
It was shaped and tuned to soothe me.
Your arms were molded
Into a cradle to hold me, to rock me.
The scent of your body was the air
Perfumed for me to breathe.

Mother,
During those early, dearest days
I did not dream that you had
A large life which included me,
For I had a life
Which was only you.

Time passed steadily and drew us apart.
I was unwilling.
I feared if I let you go
You would leave me eternally.
You smiled at my fears, saying
I could not stay in your lap forever.

That one day you would have to stand
And where would I be?
You smiled again.
I did not.
Without warning you left me,
But you returned immediately.
You left again and returned,
I admit, quickly,
But relief did not rest with me easily.
You left again, but again returned.
You left again, but again returned.
Each time you reentered my world
You brought assurance.
Slowly I gained confidence.

You thought you know me,
But I did know you,
You thought you were watching me,
But I did hold you securely in my sight,
Recording every moment,
Memorizing your smiles, tracing your frowns.
In your absence
I rehearsed you,
The way you had of singing
On a breeze,
While a sob lay
At the root of your song.

The way you posed your head
So that the light could caress your face
When you put your fingers on my hand
And your hand on my arm,
I was blessed with a sense of health,
Of strength and very good fortune.

You were always
the heart of happiness to me,
Bringing nougats of glee,
Sweets of open laughter.

During the years when you knew nothing
And I knew everything, I loved you still.
Condescendingly of course,
From my high perch
Of teenage wisdom.
I grew older and
Was stunned to find
How much knowledge you had gleaned.
And so quickly.

Mother, I have learned enough now
To know I have learned nearly nothing.
On this day
When mothers are being honored,
Let me thank you
That my selfishness, ignorance, and mockery
Did not bring you to
Discard me like a broken doll
Which had lost its favor.
I thank you that
You still find something in me
To cherish, to admire and to love.

I thank you, Mother.
I love you.

I Love You Mommy Poem

in Mother Daughter Poems

Mommy, I love you
More than you see.
You have always been there
When I needed you to be.

Mommy, I love you
More than you see.
You have always been there
When I needed you to be.

I know I don't show
How great my love is,
But I need you to know
All the love of you I have to give.

I wish there was more
For you I could do,
But all I can say
Is how much I love you.

It is deeper than the oceans,
Higher than the sun.
I could shout it forever
And still not be done.

Your smile is a keepsake.
I keep close to my heart
That I open up and treasure
When we are apart.

Letter To Mom Saying I'm Sorry Poem

in Mother Poems

I'm writing this poem for you, Mom,
because I want this poem to be
my own special way of showing you
how much you mean to me.

I'm writing this poem for you, Mom,
because I want this poem to be
my own special way of showing you
how much you mean to me.
I have so much to say,
and I don't think this poem will do,
but each word in between these lines
comes straight from my heart for you.
I know I haven't been a perfect son,
but you've taken things in stride,
and no matter how many problems I've had,
you've always been by my side.
I could talk to you about whatever I felt,
because I knew that you'd understand,
all that you asked from me in return
was to stand up and be a man.
If I asked you for some advice
you never have told me no,
and if I made a dumb mistake,
you've never said I told you so!
You've always treated me real special
and sometimes I don't understand why.
But when I think about how I've hurt you,
it makes me want to cry.
This is an apology for the mistakes I've made
and the conflicts that we've had,
for all the times I've hurt you
and for all the times I've made you mad.
I wrote this especially for you mom,
this is my cry out to you.
To let you know how sorry I am
and how much I really love you.

Spiritual Influence Of A Mother

in Mother Poems

The hand that rocks the cradle
also makes the house a home.
It is the prayers of the mother
that keeps the family strong.

The hand that rocks the cradle
also makes the house a home.
It is the prayers of the mother
that keeps the family strong.

Mother rises early in the morning
and bathes her day in prayer.
She talks to God about her family
and places them in His care.

Mother communicates her love
in a thousand different ways.
When there's a need, she is there,
whether it is night or day.

Mother seasons life with love
and gives so much of herself.
God placed in her the best He had
and made her unlike anyone else.

When challenges come our way
and when trials block our view,
Mother kneels down beside her bed
and prays the family through.

Mother is God's special creation.
She is a light shining in the dark,
illuminating the path for her family
and pointing them toward God.

Poem About All My Mother Has Done

Made me laugh for hours on end.
You kissed my boo-boos when I fooled around.

You brushed my hair and tucked me in,
Made me laugh for hours on end.
You kissed my boo-boos when I fooled around.
Mommy, you never let me down.

You held my hand as I got my shots
Then took me for ice cream that hit the spot.
You bought me Polly Pockets and Barbies, too.
Mommy, there's no one quite like you.

You held my hand as I walked through the door,
Then you met my teacher as I stared at the floor.
You told me it'd be fun and I'd make friends too,
And for that reason, Mommy, I love you.

You listened to me talk about the drama and boys
Then taught me how to handle it with class and poise.
You spoke with wisdom and of things you know.
You love to hear me say, "Mommy, you told me so."

You love the Lord with all you heart,
And you're kind and gentle and pretty and smart.
If I could be anyone, I'd pick you,
'Cause, Mommy, the world would be better with two of you.

You've taught me so much, with more in store,
And with each day that passes, I love you more.

Always There For Me

She's always been there for me.

She tells me of the hard times she's been through
In hopes that I won't go through them too.

She's always been there for me.
Just talking to her can make me happy.
She tells me of the hard times she's been through
In hopes that I won't go through them too.
She's an independent woman of stature and grace.
She has beautiful eyes and a lovely face,
An audacious strength from deep inside.
In her I know I can confide.
She's my guardian angel who'll always be
A very special part of me.
She takes pride in caring for her kin.
She gives us hope and things to believe in.
If I didn't have her there for me,
I wouldn't be half the woman I turned out to be.
I Love You, Mom

Poem From Son About All A Mother Does

in Mother Child Poems

A mother is special; she's more than a friend.
Whenever you need her, she'll give you a hand.
She'll lead you and guide you in all that you do,
Try all that she can just to see you get through.

A mother is special; she's more than a friend.
Whenever you need her, she'll give you a hand.
She'll lead you and guide you in all that you do,
Try all that she can just to see you get through.
Good times and bad times, she's there for it all.
Say head up, be proud, and always stand tall.
She'll love you through quarrels and even big fights,
or heart-to-heart chats on cold lonely nights.
My mother's the greatest that I've ever known.
I think God made my mother like He'd make his own.
A praiser, a helper, an encourager too,
nothing in this world that she wouldn't do.
To help us succeed, she does all that she can,
raised a young boy now into a man.
I want to say thank you for all that you do.
Please always know, Mom, that I love you.

Poem To Mom From Daughter

in Mother Daughter Poems

Because you are my mom, you loved me before I was ever seen.
You thanked God for this miracle, this little human being.
So exciting, yet fragile it all must have seemed to you then.
Hearing my little heart beat inside you, now life begins.

Because you are my mom, you loved me before I was ever seen.
You thanked God for this miracle, this little human being.
So exciting, yet fragile it all must have seemed to you then.
Hearing my little heart beat inside you, now life begins.

Because you are my mom, no pain was too great for you to bear.
Now you're a mother and I your child with joys and pains to share.
And so into this world my life began, each breath now on my own.
One day we will look back at just how much I've grown.

Because you are my mom, you worried for me within your every bone.
You finally let go of my little hand to take my first steps on my own.
Because you are my mom, you showed me through the years
To care about others and their feelings and the things they hold dear.

Because you are my mom, you taught me right from wrong,
Understanding that my faith in God will forever keep me strong,
Showing me that being my own person is the only tool I'll need
When morals and values are your foundation to succeed.

Because you are my mom, you loved me enough to also be my friend.
You would be right there in ways that no one could see or ever comprehend.
When there was no way I thought you could ever understand,
There you would be, non-judging and willing to lend a hand.

Because you are my mom, God's gift to me was you
As your daughter, I will always love you
And promise to be true.
I thank you for so many things, and will try to never make you sad or blue.

Because you are my mom, and one day I will be a mother too,
I pray I never forget all that you've been through.
I am your daughter, and in your image I am proud to be.
By the grace of God you were created, and then I came to be.

I wrote this for my 88 year old mother for Mother's Day!

Poem About A Mother's Love For Her Children

in Mother's Day Poems

A mother gives her children
Stepping stones to the stars.
Her love is unconditional;
Her heart has no bars.

A mother gives her children
Stepping stones to the stars.
Her love is unconditional;
Her heart has no bars.

A mother teaches her children
To be confident and bold.
Her special love for her children ,
More valuable than silver or gold.

A mother picks up her children
And wipes away life's tears.
She scares away monsters in the night
And silences life's fears.

A mother celebrates
Her children's accomplishments in life.
She hurts and cries with them
When life brings times of strife.

A mother shares her love freely
With her tender loving way.
She grows more beautiful
To her children with each passing day.

Mother, I'm grateful
for all these things that you do,
And on this special Mother's Day,
I want you to know how much I love you.

Blessed To Have A Wonderful Mom

There's no one in this world
Who knows me quite like you.

Blessed with life itself.

In sickness and in health.

I think we've grown together.
We've laughed and we've cried,
But no matter what's been thrown our way,
You've always been by my side.

Although you're my mum.
You are also my best friend,
A friendship I am proud to say
Will never, ever end.

When I have my children,
I hope I'm half as good as you
At being a mum and friend to them,
No matter what they go through.

And whenever you need me, Mum,
My arms are open wide.
I'm blessed that I'm the only one
That's felt your heart beat from inside.

A Mother's Endless Love

in Mother Daughter Poems

From the moment
I came into this world,
you gave to me
your heart and soul.

From the moment
I came into this world,
you gave to me
your heart and soul.

You give up all the time
you have for yourself
just to show to me
how much I mean to you.

Every day and every night
you give to me all your love.
You run to me
when I call your name.

You embrace me
to heal my pain.
The warmth of your touch
will always be in my heart.

Even if the time will come
that God will take you away from me,
I will never forget
your undying love for me.

Your love molds me
to become a person with morality.
Sorry for all the times
that I just made you cry.

Sorry if I can't return
all your love for me.
To all of my imperfections,
your love for me will never change.

Your love for me will always be true,
for your love for me is endless.
I love you, Mom, now and forever.
I'll love you, Mom, until the end of forever.

She's Our Mother
- By Jac Judy A. Campbell
- Published by Family Friend Poems June 2017 with permission of the Author.
When I wrote this poem, I was thinking about all the mothers, me being a mother, my daughters being a mother, and our mothers being mothers. Whether we bear a child or not, we still end up being a mother to someone, and we each have a mother somewhere. With fear, reluctance, and a racing heart, a mother raises her child to soon be released to a dangerous and unpredicted society, and with God we gain faith and encouragement for them. So this poem is for all our mothers.

Tribute To All Mothers

in Mother Poems

She's a gift to her children
Our strong devotion each day
A hand in our hand
A breath of fresh air along the way

She's a gift to her children
Our strong devotion each day
A hand in our hand
A breath of fresh air along the way
She's our good fairy godmother
A mighty mom everywhere
The sun in the morning
She's our daily prayer
She's our encouraging voice
As we grow day by day
The rose in the vase
The shine on a cloudy day
She's God's angel sent from heaven
Our bright star in the night
The queen of our souls
She's our shadow in the light
A comfort when she holds you
A memory when she's gone
A million tiny heart beats
The music in a song
She's a love that's everlasting
Worth more than diamonds and gold
We thank God for our mothers
A sacred treasure to behold

My mother is a special part
Of all that's cherished in my heart,

Whenever I'm in need of a shoulder,
There's no one as devoted as my mother.

Her presence and love have always been there,
Everything in her nature is to only care.
With every soft hug and kiss
The world seems more beautiful and blessed.

But after these brief storms my love still remains.

And it will stay there forever, and ever...

And you taught me how to talk.
You provided a roof over my head,
And always made sure I was fed.

What a wonderful, beautiful, thoughtful, intelligent mother I have,
And you make me truly glad.

You always go out of your way for everyone each day.
You always listen to what I say even if I'm having a bad day.
Whenever I've had issues
You have always been my tissues.

You always hugged me tight
And loved me with all your might.
You were always there for me when I needed someone.
I'm so very thankful to have a mother like you,
With your kindness and all that you do.

And mother, I love you.

I love you and appreciate you every day
In every single way.

My mother took care of my sister Kelly (who was paralyzed in a diving accident at age 16) for twenty-five years. The doctor did not expect my Kelly to live for 6 months. When she died, the doctor called my mother and said, "I didn't think Kelly would live 6 months, there is no doubt in my mind that she lived for twenty-five years because of your unselfish and unconditional for her." This is why my mom will always be "My Best And Favorite Girl."

Poem To Mom

You brought me my first toy,

You filled my heart with joy,
And you filled my life with love.

You brought me my first toy,
My first bike and baseball glove.
You filled my heart with joy,
And you filled my life with love.
You taught me how to count
And how to say my ABC's,
How to say, "You're Welcome,"
"Thank You," and "Pretty Please."

You taught me "Our Father,"
And "Hail Mary, Full of Grace,"
And how to greet a neighbor
With a smile and embrace.
You taught me that all things
Come from Jesus up above.
But most of all, sweet Mother,
You taught me how to love.

You taught me that all leprechauns
Possessed a pot of gold
And that they had these unicorns
Back in the days of old.
You taught me that a fantasy
Could end up with a scream.
You taught me not to give up,
Not to give up on a dream.

You taught me words of wisdom
And tended to my every need.
You gave me all the tools
That a man needs to succeed.
You filled my world with laughter,
And you brightened up my world.
And these are the reasons why
You're my best and favorite girl.

I can't thank her enough, so this poem is dedicated to my mother, Stella. I love you, Ma.

She cheers me up and keeps me grounded

At times, she drives me crazy,
but my mom she'll always be.
And even when I'm far away,
I think, what would my mother say...
Yes, even still today!

in Mother Daughter Poems

When times seem too hard to bear and I feel like giving up,

Is a mother and daughter bond that can never be torn.

When times seem too hard to bear and I feel like giving up,
I envision your beautiful face, the twinkle of your eyes and things of such.
The bond we created from my womb to the day you were born
Is a mother and daughter bond that can never be torn.
With the strength and guidance of God and the blessings he pours down from above,
I want to be the best mom I can be to you and embrace you with all my love.
You are as precious as a flower and as gorgeous as a rose.
You have been specially made to the very tip of your nose.
You are as sweet as honey; such an innocent young child.
You are brighter than any star in the sky every time you smile.
I want you to be proud of who you are and strive to be the best.
Put forth efforts to achieve your goals and let God do the rest.
I will always be your mother first, but I'm also your friend.
You are the most precious gift that I've ever been given.

With All My Love,

Blessed To Have You As A Mother

in Family Poems by Teens

Mum, it's hard to find the words to say
To show how much you mean to me,
But if it weren't for your love and care,
I don't know where I'd be.

Mum, it's hard to find the words to say
To show how much you mean to me,
But if it weren't for your love and care,
I don't know where I'd be.

How did you do it all, Mum,
Be a chauffeur, cook, and friend,
Yet find time to be a playmate?
I just can't comprehend.

"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.

Nobody's equal to you, Mum.
With you in my life, I'm blessed.
I love you so, and I want you to know
I think you're the very best.

Words cannot say how I love you, Mum,
And just how much I owe.
Please know that I'll always be there for you too,
In the high times and low.

I stayed up late at night to write this poem for my mom. She needs the support, so I thought this would help her out through her day.

Inspiring Words For A Mother

in Mother Poems

Thank you, Mom...
for the love, strength, and care,
for in this world that is quite rare.
For being my guardian and my guide

Thank you, Mom...
for the love, strength, and care,
for in this world that is quite rare.
For being my guardian and my guide
on those sad days when I cried.

I'm proud of you because...
you never gave up hope when the times were hard.
You kept going forward through it all, yard by yard.
You have never let others change who you are.
You have always shown me that you're my favorite star.
You move through the unknown with strength,
no matter how far the length.

I would have never been here today....
without your motherly advice,
without your ultimate sacrifice.
Without the support I needed,
I never would have succeeded.
Without your unbounded love,
I could never stay above.

I just wanted you to know....
I will always stand by your side.
I will give back and be your guide.
I will fight for you in the hard times,
even if all I have are a few dimes.
I will never lose my faith in you.
My love for you is always true.

I will always be there
on those days you are hurt and sad
and you feel everything is going bad.
I will hold you in my arms and say
I'm glad to be with you here today.
When you feel you are alone,
I will be your chaperone.

So thank you, Mom.
I love you so much!
Never forget, the support and love I have for you will never diminish.
You are one of the strongest people I know,
so don't let anyone else's evil decisions or careless actions
change who you are today.
You are better than all of them and stronger in every way.

From your son's heart
-Jessie

Poem About My Mom

in Family Poems by Teens

If you don't know
How much you mean
Not just to the world
But also to me

If you don't know
How much you mean
Not just to the world
But also to me
Then let me tell you
All of these things

We may fight
And we may cry
But I'll never forget
That you're by my side

In the midst of it all
I know who to call
My hero, my friend
The one I call Mom

I may not be perfect
But as you can see
I love you so much
You mean everything to me

Day in and day out
You're up and about
Thinking of ways
To help the family out

When I'm grown up
My only dream
Is to be as good a mom
As you are to me

When it gets tough
You'll remind me that life's rough
But that doesn't mean
You aren't there for me

In the midst of it all
I know who to call
My hero, my friend
The one I call Mom.
