Mother's Day Poems

My Mother

I've met hundreds of Mothers over the years

And one thing I've found to be true

There is no mother, near or far

That holds a candle to YOU

You were Mother, Father, Counselor, Friend

And never once did I hear you complain

That you never had enough time for yourself

I think I would have gone insane

The fussing, the fighting, the "He pulled my hair"

"I want this", "I want that", "Why can't I do what I want?"

With patience you stuck to your guns and your rules

And never showed the stress when we fought

I look back at those years when we didn't have much

Garage sales to buy most of our clothes

Making Macrame' hangers to buy he week's meat

And three kids covered with dirt head to toe

We cleaned ourselves up, always made it to church

With your help we presented quite well

If there's anyone now that questions the job that you do

Well quite frankly they can just go to... (um...)

Thank you for all the hard work you put in

To forming three very unique kids

If there's one thing I hope for in all of the world

It's that I'll do half as well as you did

I love you Mom.

My Nannie

There are so many grandmothers, we all have one or more I guess

There are Mima's, Granny's, Grandma's and such

But only one that can ever be called "My Nannie"

She's MY Grandmother and She is the best

Her eyes twinkle brighter than old Saint Nick

Her smile is as warm as the sun

And if there's a person on Earth I wish more to be like

I know right now she is the one

My Nannie has a halo that no one can see

She has wings so glorious too

No one can see them but me I believe

But I assure you it's no less true

She never is cross, always happy to see us

Never has an expectation big or small

She just wraps her wonderful arms around you

And looks over every one of our faults

My Nannie is forgiving and loyal and kind

She'll do anything for you she can

My Nannie is such a great person you see

Every thing's alright with a touch of her hand

I have to say that the one problem she has

Is that she can't see how great she has been

My Nannie can't see how special she is

She' My Angel, My Nannie, My Friend.

My Mother-In-Law

There's another woman in my husband' life

That he's loved even longer than me

She has held him and loved him as the years have gone by

And she's part of our life for eternity

She taught him to be loyal, she taught him to be kind

She helped him see right from wrong

She's a very special woman, my Mother-In-Law

And the list of things she's done for us is long

She's been there when we had trouble to give us a hand

She watched the kids without ever a grumble

This mother is loving and gentle and kind

And has always been very humble

She doesn't ask for anything

She gives more than she gets I am sure

My Mother-In-Law's a wonderful grandmother too

And her love for the kids is so pure

My Mother-In-Law isn't thanked enough

Her gestures so oft' overlooked

So today I want her to know in her heart

She's much more than a wonderful cook

She taught us lessons in life we wouldn't otherwise learn

And helped us see past all the mess

She's very dear to our hearts, this Mother to Brian

Having her in our life, we know we are blessed.
