Mother’s Day

Thought I’d share the poem I wrote for my mum for Mother’s Day tomorrow. I printed it out, cut it onto pretty paper and glued it into the card. A really nice and more “personal” gift if anyone’s out of ideas. Anyway, I haven’t written her a ‘Mother’s Day’ poem since I was, like, twelve, so pardon me if my skills are rusty, but I wanted my mum to know how much I appreciate all she’s done for me and continues to do.

For My Mother

It seems there’s never a right time, mum
To say thank you for giving me:
A hug when I cry
A kiss when I’m sad

For making me a hot drink on cold nights
When you’d rather be warm in bed
For asking me about my day
When your day has not been the best

For worrying about my aches and pains
When you have your own to contend with
For the strength you have
That keeps me going everyday

There is no greater chef than you
No one more courageous
No hugs warmer than those you provide
No words wiser than the ones you give

You have always had the answers
To all that worries me
Yet you always tell me to believe in myself
And I believe you

To me, you are perfect,
And nothing you do
Can make me think otherwise
Because you are my mother

And years from now
I will still look at you
And hope to be just half
Of what you are to me.

Hope you enjoyed. Feel free to use it for Mother’s Day. Or use it as inspiration to write your own for your mum. They love it, trust me ;-)
