Mother's Day Poem

To My Mother

Mother, my dear, sweet Mother

Your warm smile embraces my soul

Each and every day, and particularly

 On Mother’s Day

As I remember 

Your arms that held me,

Fed me, 

Clothed me, and 

Nurtured me 

Within the bosom of your love.

I am grateful that God gave me to you

And that He gave you to me.

Without you, I could not exist,

Without you, I could not breathe

Without you, I could not say I love you.

For you taught me the most important 

Thing in my life, and that’s the 

Unconditional love of a mother.

Even though the years have sped by 

And distance threatens to separate us

No matter where you are,

I will still feel you close to me,

Caring about me, loving me,

Sharing with me your sweet, special smile.

For I will always, always be your child.
