Best Mommy Poems

Blue Egg Mommy

You know it’s spring when she sings.
The first to show as day greets “Hello”

Her morning song so beautiful and strong.
Soon preoccupied all day long.

Her tenacity will impress, as she builds her twiggy nest.  
With her orange breast, she is the best dressed
and...

Why are there stars, Mommy?
What kind of stars, my child?
You know, Mommy, sticker stars, five-pointed stars and snowflakes.
Well, how about movie stars and TV stars and sports stars too, my child?
Oh, I don't know, Mommy.  Besides, I asked you first: Why are there stars?

OK,...

Please love yourself,
My daughter wrote
As we chatted away
About my upcoming trip
And yet my tears spilled over
As I bared my heart
To my 19 year old daughter
The joy of my life
The light of my eyes
The reason…..
The reason I go on with life
It’s for her
I try to survive
And...

MOMMY

OF WHAT ARE WE MADE INSIDE US
Well my dear Ruth
We are made up of protons,
And Neutrons,
And of course Atoms,
And Molecules.
But isn’t this conversation
A little premature
For you’re
Far too young,
But let me continue,
We have bones,
And tendons 
And of course muscles,
Blood and fat,
But mostly water.
THEN MOMMY PLEASE GIVE...

Mommy, I have something I want to say
About the things you give to me everyday

You shower and give me all your love 
So, I give thanks for you to God above

You feed me and clothe me with such great care
And if I need something else,...

Slight twitching of the toes
A shudder of the shins
The knocking of the knees
Is where it all begins

Vibration of the thighs
Through years of cellulite
Swinging of the hips
As it makes it's little trip

Grumbling of the belly
Way deep down inside
Till it moves up to the chest
To the thump...

After the funeral mommy closed the door,
"please play," she said," with your doll on the floor;"
and on the bed, she wept a real downpour.
    The room got dark as night,
    soon, I was in moonlight;
    under...

Mommy stopped hugging
And replaced it with hitting

Mommy stopped loving 
And replaced it with drinking

Mommy stopped cooking
And replaced it with sex

Mommy stopped being mommy
And I did instead...

I want to tell you a story,
About a little boy,
Who went up to his bedroom
To get his favourite toy.
But when he opened his bedroom door
And popped inside his head,
He couldn't see him anywhere
And he had left him on his bed.
So he looked inside the wardrobe,
And...

Santa, I want a mommy who doesn’t weep,
maybe she could have a good night sleep.
See, she’s been so down since daddy’s death, 
I find her all the time catching her breath. 
Under the tree for me would be a tissue of gold,
to wipe away her...

It’s not fair
Mommy
I love you so
Why are you so tired
Why are you always sick
You look so sad
I see you crying
Are you going to die
Where’s heaven
I need to talk to God
It’s not fair
Mommy
I love you so

Mommy Mommy

Oh Mommy I hear your heart beating so ever steadily, never skipping a beat.
Oh Mommy I hear you laugh and feel your joy
Oh Mommy I feel your sadness and feel you cry
Oh Mommy I know when it is time for us to go to...

Mommy Can You Hear Me?
I know you're not ready to raise a baby, because you're all alone now, but mommy can you hear me?
You thought he was going to stay because he made you feel as if, the feeling of your body pressed on his,...

Adamant Face
My mother used to say with an adamant face, "There is a place for everything and for everything a place!”
My goodness, this house is a total disgrace"

So every Tuesday at quarter past 4:OO
each person in our family had the same chore,
to straighten the house...

Her lavender light shone bright
Surrounded my thoughts
With inspiration
Hope

Her gentleness whispered soft
Against my tender heart
With musical notes
Songs

Her kindness breathed life
All across my prayers
Soothing, caressing
Dreams

Her blushing rose rays of bliss
Sighed sensitivity within
With compassion that
Lives

Her brilliant wisdom, flourishing
Murmured hope and faith
Through my spirit’s
Soaring

Her reflections of benevolence
Poured humility and...
