Mother Days Poems

Mother Days Poems as a title may seem flawed but searchers are flawed so I'm going with the flaw.

I bring you a poem in two languages, English UK and English USA and also, in rhyme, I take the time, to explain what determines the dates of Mother Days

Many Countries adopt Mothers Day, per USA
On the second Sunday, in the month of May
But not so, in Ireland and the UK

Mothering Sunday there, is always spent
On the fourth Sunday after the start of Lent
So why, you ask, does Lent move around?
Because Easter need good light on the ground
It's to do with a full moon in the sky
Good light for walking is the reason why
Pilgrims to the holy lands walked at night
They relied heavily on good moon light
So the holy day (Easter Sunday) follows the moon
It's always in the Spring, but can be late or soon

This year, 2011, Mothering Sunday is very late
Sunday April 3rd is precisely the date
So I bring you now a poem for Mother's Day
Is it original? I hear you say. Or nick it, as is oft your way?
I adapted it, well, that's my excuse
But I've made it perfect for Mick and Brit use

So here goes, with the adapted one of the Mother Days Poems

For all the nappies that you've changed.
For all the play dates you've arranged.

For all the trips back and forth to school
For mopping up gallons of vomit and drool.

For putting up with all that swill
You should have all of March..and a bit of April.

One day is just not enough... and yet
I'm sorry, pet, but that's all you get

So spend your special Sunday, April Three
Happily, and very work-free

Because Google will bring this page to the residents of USA, as well as:-

Anguilla Aruba Australia Austria Bahamas Barbados Bangladesh Belgium Belize Bermuda Bonaire Brazil Canada Chile China Colombia Cuba Croatia

Curaçao Czech Republic Denmark Ecuador Estonia Finland Germany Greece Grenada Honduras Hong Kong Iceland Italy Jamaica Japan Latvia Malta

Malaysia Netherlands New Zealand Peru Philippines Puerto Rico Singapore Slovakia South Africa Suriname Switzerland Taiwan Trinidad and Tobago Turkey Uruguay Venezuela Zimbabwe

here's the original of the Mother Days poems

For all the diapers
that you changed.
For all the play dates
you arranged.

For all the trips
back and forth to school
for cleaning all the spit up
and the drool.

Why is there only
one Mother's Day.
You could have at least gotten
the ENTIRE month of May.

*

So there you have it, Mother Days Poems
For Brits, Yanks and Poms
I hope you enjoy
Should you need it, here's moy

Mothers Day Poems

Mothers Day Poems

I didn't write 'em...I gathered 'em ...for you

This first one is for a Deceased Mother

If I could have just one wish

And never have another

It would be to have 5 minutes

And spend it with my Mother

I would tell you how I miss you

And wish that you could stay

Just to see your face again

On this, your Mothers Day.

Mothers Day Poems

Love, trust, friendliness and courage
are some of the lessons you taught me.
What a great start you gave me in life.

Have A Very Happy Mother's Day!

***

You show your love in little ways --
In warming smiles and words of praise,
In things you do to brighten days...
You always show you care.
You show your love by hurts you ease,
By giving such fond memories,
But Mother, more than all of these...
By always being there!

Have A Very Happy Mother's Day!

***

A Mother's Day wish
That is warm and sincere
For someone who's always
So sweet and so dear --
Here's hoping you find
That with each passing day,
The best things in life
Will keep coming your way!

Mothers Day Poems


It takes somebody special
To listen and to care,
To encourage and inspire
And to show she's always there...
So I hope that you'll remember,
Each day the whole year through,
You're someone very special
And you always will be too

***


Thanks for all you've done for me,
And all that you still do.
Thanks for being patient
And so understanding too...
Thanks for all the help you give
And all the joy you bring.
On Mothers Day, just want to say,
Thanks for everything!

Mothers Day Poems


Of all the special joys in life
The big ones and the small.
A mothers love and tenderness,
Is the greatest of them all.

***

I hope you like

Funny Mothers Day poem

As it is only 12 days to Mothering Sunday, I thought I'd bring you this funny mothers day poem that I wrote a few years back

Today, just think...

You're on a luxury vacation
At the finest accomodation
With the highest recommendation
Getting utmost consideration
Enjoying sparkling conversation,
Heavenly recreation,
Pure sensation,

Beauty preparation

Relaxation

And pamperation
( if that's not a word, it ought to be)

Without limitation

Throughout the entire duration

Of this exotic situation

You've got admiration,

Nay, adoration

And unadulterated sophistication

In my estimation

For Mothers Daytion

You need stimulation

And imag-e-nation !!

A very Happy Mothers Day,
From one dreamer to another

80th Birthday Poems

This is a poem I was requested to write as a tribute on the 80th birthday of an Irish Mother of 7 kids. For the most part the names have been changed to retain anonymity. I've introduced it now because, with just a few tweaks, this would be ideal as a joint Mother's Day Poem from the whole family

80th Birthday poems..verse 1

As it's your 80th birthday

Let's face it, Mum, you're old

We all agree that it's time

You had your story told

First you had a little girl

And you called her Joanne Marie

Then twins, James and Patrick

And already you had three

Like Oliver Twist you wanted more

So who was next to arrive

More twins Sean and Jackie

The number's up to five

By now the stork was worn out

On more he wasn't keen

As encouragement you gave him a Pat

Then along came Eugene

Of course Eugene says he's the best

You'd produced six times before

But in truth the stork took a look at him

And said "That's it ..no more"

You've been a busy lady

For life, you had a thirst

Giving your all for your kids

And you always put us first

But now that you've reached eighty

You're content and so serene

This comes with love from Helen

And Sharon and Eugene

And your whole extended family

On your birthday have a ball

Ruby, you're a treasured gem

So precious to us all...

For growing old jokes there's many out there, starting at turning 40, then 50th, 60th and 70th.

Few of them go quite as far as this one in decrepitness. I have adapted it from a piece written by Author Unknown

80th Birthday Poems...verse 2

There's quite an art to falling apart
As the years go by,

And life doesn't begin at 40.
We both know that's a lie.

Our hair's getting thinner,
But our waists are not
The few teeth we have
Are beginning to rot.

We smell of Vick's Vapourub,
Not Chanel Number 5

Our doggedness is the only thing
That's keeping us alive.

When asked of our past,
Every detail we'll know,
Except what we were doing
Just 10 minutes ago?

Well, you get the idea,
What more can I say?
Why not read the obituaries
Like you do every day

If your name's not there,
You'll once again start
Perfecting the art
Of falling apart

I'm able to say this
As an old friend, to you
A very, very old friend

Who's falling apart too

Despite only having half a heart left
These birthday wishes I send
Not at all half heartedly
All the very best, my dear old friend

Mothers Day Verses

In the lead up to Mothering Sunday this is a tribute I wrote many years back to a wife and mum who was born in 1953, forgets to water the house plants, is a keen reader and cuts the family's hair

For your birth, they held street parties

The whole country just went mental

T'was in '53... the Queen was crowned

But that was incidental

You drink in TV movies

You've a thirst for books, that's true

Our house plants know the feeling

For they get thirsty too

Having an in-house barber

We think is very good

We save some dosh...and we don't mind

The occasional sight of blood

But your love of Jane Austen books

Gives us our greatest fear

While you cut our hair, steeped in Pride

You might Prejudice our ear

But enough of all these insults

For now the time has come

To tell you that we love you

You're a special wife and Mum

Funny Mother Poem

Ahead of Mothers Day, I've dug out this ditty..a funny mother poem...and by that I mean a funny poem about a mother which I wrote decades ago about a lady who was a keen cyclist and tennis player who often lost her keys and was always late. It is a good example of looking for a theme and when I learnt that she was a cordinator in the prison service who often lost keys and was late the theme was established. It was just a bonus that she was born in September and was called June. The caricature that went with this poem was of her on a unicycle playing tennis

Isn't it Odd?

This is a special Mother's Day tribute

And we really hope to please

But isn't it odd that a prison worker

Should keep mislaying keys?

And isn't it odd that a co-ordinator

Should be always late, not soon

And that a girl born in September

Should have the name of June?

Isn't it odd, since she likes tennis

That she hasn't had this thought

To combine the game with cycling

To help her round the court?

But it's not odd we love her

When all is said and done

She's a lovely caring person

To a husband, daughter, son

Funny Mothers Day Poems and Quotes

Funny Mothers Day Poems..are there any other kinds? Well yes, here's one about something very common these days...Grannies looking after Tots

Mum (Mom) you know I (we) rely on you
Perhaps more than I (we) ought
But I (we) really do appreciate
All your love and support

Have a really lovely Mother's Day
And may all your cards be beauties
Have a nice long rest before resuming
Your childminding duties

Which I (we) hope you find rewarding
Not in money terms, as such
But knowing that I (we) and the children
Love and appreciate you very much

Happy Mother's Day
