Best Motherhappy Poems
Born as an infant in the dark cold world
We open our eyes and cry as we look at those we love all curled
Taking our first steps into you arm
We know that we live life without harm
Because mother when you kiss me you’re my special charm
Day by day I long for your love whether I tell you or not
God gave me only one shot
And he hit you right on the dot
You are my everything yes that is true
But I do know the love I have for you is like God’s special glue
You and I have good times and bad times we fought through
But at the end of the day in your arms I flew
You are my sunrise and my sunset
Because together our voices make a duet
You are my north star
Because if I look in the sky you are not that far
You are my light
When I am lost in the darkness you shine ever so bright
You are my special mother
And I would never in a million years pick another
The times we had were something of a story
Because you and I worshiped in all of life’s glory
I never thought the physical part would end
But now that it has my soul is something I send
I can’t believe you are gone
Because I cry everyday before dawn
God loved you just as much as I
But I just wish I had more time to say goodbye
I know you are watching over me from up high
So I promise the tears I shed will be happy ones as I cry
I know we are close still just like peas and a pie
Now that you are with God
I know you are more than happy with a smile
But promise me you will pop in my dreams every once in awhile
I will live my life in your light
Each and every night
Just know mom every time “missing you” is played
I remember you always and my love for you will never fade

My mother sweeping up the floor,
Greeting neighbors at the door,
Stopping for a cup of tea
With cookies and some milk for me.
She'd make the bed, do other chores
Before hanging the clothes outdoors.
My mama led a busy life,
But still she was a happy wife.
The meals from Mama's hands that came
Would put most restaurants to shame.
She meant the world to Dad and me.
She's with me still in memory.
I see her shining chestnut hair
With tortoise comb to hold it there.
She kept it all in ordered check,
Except for curls on back of neck.
She gazed at me with mother's pride
Until the very day she died.
I know there'll never be another
Who could love me as did Mother.
Mother's always in my prayer.
I ask that she be happy there
With floors to sweep and beds to make
Someone to love, for love's own sake.

Where the Smoke Goes
I went to the place where the smoke goes, from all our blown out candles.
I found pounds of Cape Cod beach sand there, broken kites and long lost sandals.
Over eighteen thousand days flown by since your promise of “I do”,
wandered all around
this place and found,
more reasons to love you.
I climbed a forgotten apple tree, so I could easily survey.
I saw mountains made of sawdust, valleys of bills you had to pay.
Lumber stacked from projects past, knick-knacks from church bazaars.
I reminisced,
just how much I missed,
finding old chewed up cigars.
I held my breath and dove into the lake made from our tears.
Baptized again, saw family and friends that I’ve missed over the years.
They brought me all the breaths you’ve held, fifty years worth put together,
and showed me the boat
you kept afloat,
through rough seas and stormy weather.
I found rooms of things you went without, to give us what we needed,
and realized then, how much we’ve reaped, from the garden that you seeded.
I saw every time we counted on you, stacked higher than the sun,
I heard loved ones say,
the times you turned us away,
added up to less than one.
They showed me five happy childhoods, filled with loving memories,
and read five prayers for fifty more, Happy Anniversaries.
I couldn’t find a way to show how much, we love and thank you both,
for promising “I do”,
and yes, you two,
made damn good upon your oath.
The smell of homemade biscuits slowly cooking filled the air,
but awoke before I tasted one, in my Adirondack chair.
I left the place where the smoke goes, from our blown out candle wishes,
but I’ll come back each time,
I need to find,
the treasures my soul misses.

Mom I'm sorry no one showed you love
I'm dispointed in you
I try so hard to show you that I care
that you don't need all those men
to make your life happy
But you don't ever seem to listen
I do and give you everything I have
To make you happy
But all I ever get in return is pain
I rember those lonely nights where I have nite mares
You was never there
I never got to have a mothers day with you
Because you was never a round
I had to learn and do so many things on my own
I Love You
But you don't love me
Why Mom.
When will you come back into my life mom I miss you so much that's it's not even hartd to
describe the missing part of you. When will you learn to accept me as your birth daughter
you made me. When will you feel happy around me when I myself feel extremly happy
whenever I'm around you. When will you appreciate my love toward you,dad, my siblings,
and the rest of my familly. When will you realize the truth that you and I are blood which
means that we are related. When will you love yourself first I know it's hard to do this but
you can do it momma. When will you believe in me that I can do anything if I put my mind
to it. When will you come and see me don't lie to please to me for the second time I already
am hurt. When will you come to my weding yes I'm talking to you have you been ignoring
me. When will you help me out or better yet help yourself out with your own big issues that
you keep on ignoring. When will you be that strong women that I know you are momma
keep your head up high. When will you become a well intellgent,head up high , with
confedence, within yourself type of queen. That you know that you are and can become one
if you just stop looking so misable. When will you stop having regrets about giving me and
another one of your children up for adoption. MOmma I kinda of undersatnd why you had to
do what you did. When will you.
