Best Familymother Daughter Poems


Premium Member The Generations

The time has come to step aside.
It’s been a very lovely ride.
I trained my darling daughter well.
It’s she who rings the dinner bell
on holidays and lets me rest.
She aces each and every test.  

Proving herself every bit as able
as I to set Thanksgiving table,
she feeds her twenty-two hungry guests
without a sign of being stressed.
So I feel needed, I surmise,
she allowed me to make the pies.

She never loses her sweet smile.
For each grandchild she stops awhile
to hug, to listen and to praise
as I did in the olden days.
Daughter, mother and grandmother,
she’s as good at one role as the other.

The day will come I know it’s true
when she will give soup ladle to
her own sweet daughter next in line.
She’ll step aside this child of mine,
to sit and rest and watch her daughter
do as  her loving mother taught her.

I watch her now with love and pride
this woman whom I helped to guide
to the super mother she became.
Her daughters now are in the game. 
They’re teaching the new generation
to be the next great mom sensation.

And so it has been through the years,
moms giving love and shedding tears,
each passing on her mothering lore
learned from mothers who came before.

Mother and Daughter

Mother and daughters are best friends, 
so why is it now we have just begun.
All the times I wished you were there,
but all i could do was say a prayer.
Now grown up it is starting to come clear, 
although I could not see you, 
in my heart in a little box is where it cares. 
Times have changed  lot's has gone on,
but for you and me we hung on.
Never acting quite loving for it was a fright,
we act a lot alike and I do not mind.
I know you are thinking about me all the time.
No matter what anyone said to hurt your name.
Believe me, mom I  never took it in vain.
I know we missed out on a lot of things.
Life is nowhere near over, 
so why not start now and have some fun?
As mother and daughter we have just begun.
