Mother Daughter Poems | Examples

Mothers love

Warmer than the summer sun 
Softer than the breeze 
Sweeter than a rose in bloom
My mother’s all of these’s . 

My mother always stood by me 
Throughout my childhood years 
She would always be around me 
If I would shed a tear. 

She would always pick me up 
No matter when I fall
Because the love of my mother 
Is the strongest love of all.

Yes , mothers are God’s angels 
She is my angel too 
That’s why I love her so much 
And miss her loving touch.

NEVER LIKE THE ONE I COME FROM

An Angel,
How could you breathe life into someone so twisted, rotten to the core?

A Beauty,
How can something that came from you be so ugly, inside and out?

A Queen,
A calamity your face sits on a peasant, so unworthy of your image.

A Warrior, 
How can an offspring of yours be this weak and pathetic?

A Champion, 
A shame you bore a loser that is always defeated, giving nothing but disgrace.

A Saint,
How come something that's supposed to be of you have turned out so viscous, cruel and unkind? 

But the real question is, 
How can someone as perfect as you beget a monster like me?

With a gentle hand Mystic

                              I take 
                       her hand in mine
                and guide her down the street.
     Will my daughter take my hand too, one day?

Inheritance

my mommys love was a loves room I knocked until my Knuckles bruised.
she taught me Silence like a bed time song, and bitterness in breakfast. 

Her hugs were shark -skin 
smooth if you dont move 
but alisia moved 
alisia always moved

She gave me her tired
like a hand-me down sweater 
too tight in the chest 
 loose in the soul.
I learned to fold myself 
like laundry she forgot in the
washer. 
I wanted her wanting 
but sne wanted drugs.

I wasent the drugs was
he child and i needed
her but 
She needed them.

Now I carry mommy 
In my Jaw in 
in dreams
In the way I panic in someone
Says "mommy”
by alisia bentley

With A Gentle Hand - Mystic

With soft touch of hands
mother smooths creases of fear—
folding in embrace
touching quivering candle
fingers humming haunting hymns

Love requires no hands
it invents its own language—
wing, beak, paw and lick
a body curled up to care
whispers —'you're safe'

Whales cuddle up close
dolphins ring rosy halos
seals seek safe harbors
penguins bow against the wind
birds soothe with beaks and feather

Love without fingers
a current that wraps and lifts
a tide unbroken
it cradles the heart within
steadies the faltering steps

Such love needs not touch—
it listens, watches, imbibes
hovering in care
joining two hearts together
with spirit of motherhood

the bee to become

I'll be free to kind-ness of daisies
gently trembling through the void,
and the softness of  held hands
which are offering raisins,
without a trick of quicksand.
There's seeds that has a need
of watering & the showering,
Grows into roses with its thorns
defense mechanism vulnerability
can be sweet and leave you torn.
A mother cradles her newborn
and will show her teeth
if you interrupt her breath
into her child's new lungs,
and a simple harmony sang
She's now a bee to become....

Made of you

I am made by the traits you gave to me – 
Creating a person happy to know.
Independence and strength and loyalty,
Come from my mother who did truly show

There is importance to education,
And you made sure to provide me the best. 
Creating in me a strong foundation
And for that I will be forever blessed.

You taught me how to be caring and bold,
As well as how to be a good mother.
Unconditional love never gets old – 
Even my siblings support each other.

And so I watch these traits in my children,
and in their babes, again it is written.

Time flies

‘Twas just yesterday I learned about joy. 
You became mine and I became yours – 	 
so happy for a girl instead of boy.	 
An instant love bonded us to the core. 
 
Seconds, hours, days and years quickly fly.
Crawling and talking, walking and running – 		
you grew so fast, past hijinks and lies, 
into someone so smart and stunning.
 
Time continues to pass so fast for me.
You became an adult and now mother.
You turned me into a bragging Nonni 
with a perfect princess now to nurture. 
 
I watch with amazement; the years go by. 
Holding memories, I can only try.

A Mothers Love

I will watch over you 
Till my dying day
I'll nurture and cherish 
The times that we play 

The times when I read 
Of adventures to come
As I tuck you in bed 
And you suckle your thumb 

I will watch over you 
As you learn how to live
To become independent 
From the knowledge I give 

The cruelest of fate 
As I watch you this way
The role of a mother
To prepare for this day 

To live and to love
And to help you be free
Able and strong
For a life without me 

I'll wistfully see 
All the days in my mind
Of watching you growing
To your own special kind 

I'll wistfully dream 
Of the days I won't see
When I will be gone 
From this entity 

I promise I'll stay
In your heart and your mind
In the love that you share
Forever entwined 

I will watch over you
Until my last breathe 
The love is still with you
It does not fear death 

It lives on in the sun
The wind and the rain
It lives on in the thoughts 
Which consume your brain 

It lives on in your eyes
As you see through the years
It lives on in your spirit
And softens your tears 

Know that I'm there
When you need me to be
To comfort and guide you
To set yourself free

Mama Hiku

down on the floor
hands and feet would lift me ~
i was a plane

blew up balloons
she made me animals ~
i was dazzled

taught me stitches
loved skilled embroidery ~
i was craft sown

drew paper dolls
sketched with clothes to cut out ~
i was prized fun

read tales aloud
fueled my fantasies ~
i was book hooked

spent time with me
shared skills and joys with me ~
mama loved me

With a Gentle Hand -- Mystic

This scene occurred just days before she died.
Somehow I made it through before I cried.

While pale and weak, eyes closed, in bed she lay,
I thought of all the things I longed to say.

I whispered “Beautiful" and kissed each hand.
Confused, Mom said, "What? I don’t understand.”

“Your HANDS,” I said. She answered, “They’re worn out
and wrinkled. That’s what aging’s all about.”

I said, “You’ve worked and cared, as mothers should.
Your strong but gentle hands made life so good!
With smiles and hugs for all your family,
you made us safe and happy as could be.
Again I say, about these hands I hold,
they're beautiful, and you are good as gold.”

The Stranger

When the sun bloomed
And the bougainvillea blossomed
And her cheeks unfurled
Into a long smile
At sunset,
I had her in my arms;
I knew her. 

When the whales sprayed silhouettes,
And the fishermen made their bets;
Porpoise stitched the sea
Into a sunset dress

For her to wear at the dance
That night after we argued
About strangers.

(And please don’t talk to them
And don’t drink 
And don’t dally about
And don’t be someone else
I don’t know.)

Don’t be a stranger
When you come home
when the sun rises,
Blooming.

Happy Hurt Day

You’re gentle, judgemental,
A freak in sheep’s disguise
Yet in some ways you’re burdened by self sacrifice,
You’re obsessive, compulsive,
Afraid to let me go
You’re afraid of what’s left of you,
If you have not my hand to hold

You know I love you,
But it’s time to move on
Take a fall, and crash out, if I’m wrong
Be scared, I’ll hold you,
If again our paths may intertwine,
Someday you’ll see me smile,
But now is not your time

So I guess we have little left to say,
But happy hurt day,
Let’s eat our heart ache
We’ll bake ‘till we can’t feel
Lind’s eat your cupcake,
Made out of mistakes
Let’s wrap up what’s concealed

‘Cause it’s your birthday,
But not anymore
Since you chose the hurt held door
So happy hurt day,
Look, I baked you cupcakes
Blow out your candles,
Close the door

My Mother's Daughter

 My Mother's Daughter 

No one listened to me 
No body finds me 
No one fought for me 
No one took a stand 
I slept in a strange land 
awaken a stranger 
I cried a river 
the steaming tears 
dancing with the undulating water
reveals a saddened reflection 
mirroring my world
sweeping me back to yesteryear

To Mama

This is for the sleepless nights you spent
thinking 'bout life's ups and downs and in betweens
For the efforts you continuously exert, though unseen
For the hungry stomach you choose to ignore
Just so on our plate you could put more

This is for the silent tears you have cried
For days when no one seems to be on your side
For the words you want to shout but chose to keep in your heart
For trying to keep things together, though it tears you apart 

For being soft but yet sturdy and strong
For making me feel, I always belong
For setting aside your youth so I could enjoy mine 
For your sweet smile even during the toughest of times

This is for your courage amidst your fears
For choosing joy despite the tears
This is for the battle you've won over the years
This is for you mom. Cheers!
