When I was small you held me in the crook of your arm
Gently caressing and rocking me back and forth
You sang sweet lullaby's as I gripped your finger
I felt your love then just as I do now
When I came home with scrapped up knees
You nursed my wounds
Kissing each one to "make it all better"
I felt your love then just as I do now
Each time my heart broke and I thought my life was over
Arms wide open you held me as I cried on your shoulder
Words of wisdom flowing from your lips
I felt your love then just as I do now
Here I am all grown up
No more ribbons and bows in my golden locks
Your love has guided my every step
In the years to come I will feel love your just as I do now
Happy Mother's Day Mom! Never could you possibly know the impact that your love has had on my life. You've never turned your back. Not even when I pulled away. You have been by my side through every obstacle in my life. You have watched me laugh when there was joy and you have watched me cry as life filled up with trials. Your love and faith is what has made me the woman that I am. My heart is full of love because you constantly showed me unconditional love. You have taught me so much and I can only hope and dream that one day the legacy that you have given to me I will be able to pass on to my own children.

A mother is love???
Beautiful. She really is the greatest mom ever, isn't she?? And yes, Mom...a mother IS love.
You are a precious pearl, and I will ever thank God for you!!! One day, my sweet child, you will know what it is to be a mother!!
Ditto! She is the greatest! I didn't know you had posted this until after I wrote mine. "Great minds think alike!" Love you!
That's a beautiful poem, Karen! There are obviously some very talented writers out there, because I've come across so many great Mothers Day poems that I've never seen before!
WHERE IS THE SOUTHERN PEARL?
