Expressing Gratitude And Happy Mother’s Day Poems

I Love You Mom- Mother’s Day Poem

This is my personal favorite of the their current Mother’s Day poems. The first verse captured my heart right away and I hope my kids can someday say that to me and mean it.

“The days play back like movie reels
and memories flood like dreams,
of how you’ve lived and how you’ve loved
to show what mothering means.

Giving without hesitation
and loving without strings,
you taught me kindness matters,
and magic’s in everything.

Your strength of heart is beautiful,
your grace, no words define,
it is said being a mom is a gift,
but the privilege was always mine.”

-L McNamara

Expressing Gratitude This Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is all about showing our moms we care. It is about taking that special time with them to show them they are a priority. It is about telling them that we appreciate them and that we love them. There are lots of way to celebrate Mother’s Day – fun activities planned together, giving a gift that’s store bought or homemade, and of course, giving a Mother’s Day card. Now that I am a mom, expressing gratitude on Mother’s Day has a whole new level of meaning to me.

I often find myself thinking of my own mother raising me. When my children were babies, I often thought, “Wow, my mom did all of this for me.  She carried me around, wiped my butt, woke up to soothe me back to sleep, and had spit up all over her.”  I was suddenly appreciative for things I had never even really thought of before.

Many more times it has occurred to me that this is what it was like for my mother too.  Times when I am bursting with pride and filled with love, I think, “Wow, my mom loved me this much!  And she still does.”  No one loves you like your mom (except maybe your dad!)

Then there are other times, when I think I didn’t sign up for this part of motherhood. Like when that wobbly tooth is hanging on by a gross, bloody thread and you have to give it a yank even though you’d rather just not even look. Then I remember that my mom was there for me in those times too.  She was there to explain things that I didn’t understand and that she didn’t understand either and to help me know that things were going to be OK.

Show Your Appreciation And Express It Too!

Motherhood has given me a whole new appreciation of my own mother. Don’t get me wrong, I have always loved my mother but now, I just have even more to express gratitude for!  I want her to know that I appreciate the sacrifices she made to spend time with me, to care for me, and to show me I was loved.

Sometimes, expressing gratitude is hard. Not because we don’t want to but because our words don’t feel like quite enough. “I love you”, and “Thank you” just don’t say as much as I’d like to say.  For those times, sometimes a card can help you say just what you want.  I look through greeting cards until I find just the right one that says exactly what I want to say – that takes the words right out of my heart! Whether you compose the words yourself or you select a card with beautiful words, tell your mom how grateful you are and how much you love her.

Whether you have the best mother or just a good mother, I can tell you it is a hard job! Be thankful for your mom’s love and make her feel extra special with a beautiful poem. What are your mother’s day plans? Which of these Happy Mother’s Day poems did you choose for your mom?
