Great Mom
āSusan M. Gilbert
I Love You Mom
You brighten up my life
With tender love and care.
When I reach out,
Youāre always there.
Youāre someone I can count on
When I need a helping hand.
Youāre warm and loving;
You always understand.
Iām so thankful to have
A mom like you.
There is no other
Who could fill your shoes.
I always took for granted
That you were there for me
And all the things you did,
But now I see.
Youāre such a good example
Of what a mom should be.
We always get along so well,
Even when we disagree.
Youāre so patient
And understanding.
You donāt ask for anything.
Youāre outstanding.
Youāre so quick to give
And such a joy to be around.
Youāre such a good person.
You deserve a special crown.
You have a good heart.
Youāre honest and true.
Youāre the best mother,
And I really love you.
A Prayer For A Motherās Birthday
Lord Jesus, Thou hast known
A motherās love and tender care:
And Thou wilt hear, while for my own
Mother most dear I make this birthday prayer.
Protect her life, I pray,
Who gave the gift of life to me;
And may she know, from day to day,
The deepening glow of Life that comes from Thee.
As once upon her breast
Fearless and well content I lay,
So let her heart, on Thee at rest,
Feel fears depart and troubles fade away.
Her every wish fulfill;
And even if Thou must refuse
In anything, let Thy wise will
A comfort bring such as kind mothers use.
Ah, hold her by the hand,
As once her hand held mine;
And though she may not understand
Lifeās winding way, lead her in peace divine.
I cannot pay my debt
For all the love that she has given;
But Thou, loveās Lord, wilt not forget
Her due reward,ābless her in earth and heaven.

Flowers For Mum
The plants are glad to see the Sun.
They turn their faces
to enjoy the fun!
When clouds bring down
a refreshing shower,
their leaves turn green
to embellish the flowers.
Sun or showers,
Whatever may come,
those gorgeous flowers
sing āHappy Birthday, Mumā!

Happy Birthday Mom
I really love my mother,
And it surely makes me proud,
To know Iām one of her kids,
And to sing her praises loud.
My mother has a birthday,
once every year.
And on that day sheāll ponder life,
And even shed a tear.
See, Mom doesnāt like her birthdays;
She says they make her old,
But sheās as sharp as she ever was,
If the truth be told.
My mother showed me lots of things,
About the world, you see,
So then I could teach my kids,
The things my mom taught me.
My Mother has a Pure heart
Thatās made of gold
I love my mother very much
In my book she will never be old.
My mom is a sweetie
She is beautiful, which is true
I Thank god for you, mom
Where would I be without you?
Happy Birthday Mom!
āKristen M Saccardi
A Mother Is So Many Things
First, she lets you grow within
when the miracle takes place ā
That is where all life begins
In a warm and loving space.
Then she is you nurturer
your life is in her hands ā
24 hours a day, she gives
thatās what, this job demands.
Then she is your nurse
cleaner and your cook ā
She takes care of everything
without a guide book.
A Mother means so much more
than words could ever say ā
She is everything we love
and means the world each day.
Happy Birthday
āToni Norton Kane
Donāt Forget
Your birthday is the day I remember
all the wonderful things you do.
Time will fly; each day goes by,
and Iāve forgotten to say, "Thank you."
Thank you for teaching me strength,
to have confidence while I grow,
for helping me through my biggest challenges,
and for teaching me what I know.
Although our paths may be distant,
and we spend so much time apart,
remember you are the one
who made the essence of my heart.
I will love you until my last breath,
this I know for sure,
as you are the first love I ever had,
and so I will love you forever more.
āVicki Fearnley
Happy Birthday, Mom!
Happy birthday, Mom!
May every second, minute
hour, day and year of your life
be filled with the kind of
comfort, security, and happiness
you give unfailingly to me.
Happy Birthday, Mom!
Without you, there would be
a gaping hole in my life, an emptiness
that only your love can fill.
Thank you, Mom, for all that you do,
for the extraordinary person you are.
Happy Birthday, Mom!

Happy Birthday To The Queen Of Our Hearts
Poems are written every day for moms across the earth.
Stories, songs, and ballads, all trying to tell her worth,
How every day she battled, the odds against her stacked,
Never giving up on us and never looking back.
There was no time for wishing or waiting for a dream.
Faces to wash, meals to cook, clothes that needed cleaned.
She never feels that sheās been cheated of a life to call her own.
Smiles that come from beneath her feet is where her heart is drawn
Sometimes we saw a worried look or heard a desperate prayer,
But she never burdened her little ones with even a hint of care.
Our table was full, our beds were warm, clothes upon our back.
We always had just what we needed; we never knew a lack.
The outside world might raise a brow and doubt that weād survive,
But mom was sure of her love for us, and that love kept us alive.
She couldāve chosen a different path, the road to please herself.
Instead she took the high road, and her kids became her wealth.
Investing in us every day, she seemed so brave and strong,
But only God knew the tears she cried when she was all alone.
He heard her every prayer and watched as time went by.
He traded her ashes for beauty and lifted her head up high.
Itās no wonder that we love her so unlike any other.
Happy Birthday to the queen of our hearts, our dear, precious Mother.
āFran Peck
Thank you Mom
For nine months, I was just a part of you,
Little by little, I grew inside of you.
The morning sickness you didnāt really mind,
Cause from day one you are already kind.
When my life is dark, you serve as my light,
When I am sad, you always hug me tight.
When I was inside of you, in me, you already believe,
You sacrifice a lot just to let me live.
I hope when itās my turn to become a mom,
I can achieve at least half of what youāve done,
Cause you did not just give me a life,
You also taught me to fight my own strife.
Todayās my birthday, but it should be your day,
Cause youāre the reason why I am here today,
So in this very special day of mine,
I wanna say Thank You to you, my Mom.
āMayie Cachero
I Must Be Lucky
How lucky am I
To have you by my side
Your love shines through
In all that you do
So much you have said
So much I have heard
So much you have taught
So much I have learned
I know that we have had ups and downs
And sometimes even a little frown
You have always been there, so I will say
I love you, and have a wonderful special day
āValerie Radcliffe

The Most Special Day
Mom, your birthday is
the most special day of the year,
because without you I wouldnāt have
the all encompassing comfort
of a motherās unconditional loveā¦
your love, for me.
You are always there for me, Mom.
Whenever I need you,
to cheer me up, make me smile,
bolster my confidence,
or sympathize with me and ease my worries,
you fill up my empty, hurting places
with your boundless affection.
Your loving presence in my life
gives me a reassuring feeling
of security and peace.
Thank you, Mom,
and Happy Birthday!

Is smiles and laughter every day
And shed only happy tears!

The Passing Years
Age is a quality of mind:
If you have left your dreams behind,
If hope is lost,
If you no longer look ahead,
If your ambitionās fires are dead,
Then you are old.
But if from life you take the best
And if in life you keep the jest,
If love you hold,
No matter how the years go by,
No matter how the birthdays fly,
You are not old.
āEdward Tuck

I Love you so much and just want to say
Thanks for being my mum, today and every day xxx

Another Birthday Without Her: A Letter to my Mother on my Birthday
Another year, another birthday without my mom. To be honest, if my daughter hadnāt of reminded me that my birthday was coming up, I probably would have forgotten. I donāt look forward to them anymore. Sure, Iām glad to be alive, but you see, celebrations were my mother's thing. She was good at them. She had a special way of making you feel so unique, so loved, and so celebrated. Truth is, she did this every day, not just birthdays.
Birthdays before my mother died were about counting the candles on the birthday cake. Birthdays after my mom died are spent counting how many birthdays itās been without her. That number is 2. Two birthdays without her here.
Today, on my birthday, the only present I want is another day with her. Just one more day. But no amount of wishes on a birthday cake can make that happen. So, Iāll do what she always told me to do. Iāll write. Iāll write to her.
To my Mother on my Birthday:
Hi, Mom! Today is my birthday, but you already know that. Without you, celebrating just doesnāt seem right. I need you. Not just today, but always.
Your absence changes things. It makes things less beautiful and more heartbreaking. Today, I sit here thinking about this exact day 37 years ago. It was the day you became a mother. It was the day you gave birth to me. Did you realize on this day how amazing youād be? Did you realize that you were about to become the best mother this world has to offer?
You probably didnāt realize that in the moment you gave birth to me you became so much more than a mother. You became an inspiration. You became a hero. I grew up wanting to be you. I admired everything about you. To this day, I'm still inspired by your unconditional love, your unwavering support, and your dedication to being the best mother any kid could ask for. Iāll never stop wanting to be just like you.
37 years ago our journey began. I became your daughter and the luckiest girl in the world. Being your daughter was a blessing. It was my first gift and the best gift. If I have to celebrate my birthday without you, Iāll celebrate this, this is day I met you
Instead of counting how many candles Iāve blown out without you here, Iāll celebrate that on this very day, I met you. My life will be forever blessed because of that fact. Itās easy to celebrate you.
So when I blow out my candles, instead of making a wish, Iāll be celebrating the moment you and I met, instead of dwelling on the fact that youāre not here.
I miss you every second of every day. Love you, Mom! Always.

This is just beautiful, it is my 40th birthday on Friday and all I can think about is how the 2 people in the room as I was born are no longer here, my heart hurtsā¦ but I will take your writing as advice and celebrate it as they day I met them.. much love
Thank you for writing such a lovely tribute to your mom. My mother as she was ādied' many years ago, her brain succumbing to early onset dementia. It's been 7 years since I got a birthday call. She's alive, yet her absence on my birthday opens the ambigious grief wounds. Today I turn 34. I'm older now than she was when she gave birth to me. I'm not sure how I feel about that realization. Only that some day I hope I'll have a little one and birthdays will once again be about celebrating beginnings and milestones. XoXo Liz

If you wrote this on your Birthday, you and I share the same day. Happy Birthday to you! Today is my first birthday without my wonderful mom and I am struggling to get through it. She passed unexpectedly five months ago and I miss her so much. She made birthdays and every day so special. Thank you for sharing this, it is a help to get through today and celebrate the day I met my mom.

JR says:
This is a blessing to me and my husband. We share the same birthday (believe it or not); itās today. This is also my 37th (his 35th) birthday, and like you, the 2nd birthday Iām experiencing without my mom.
To make things harder, we also lost my dear mother-in-law 3.5 months ago. So this is the first birthday that my husband and I have had without her. I went on the internet looking for comfort, and your post came up first. Although it sucks that youāve had to endure this pain, itās helpful to know that someone else gets it. THANK YOU so much for writing this. I love the idea of honoring our beautiful moms and the fact that we met them this day. God bless you in your griefš
Lakshita says:
This is just soo motivating and uplifting, today is my second birthday without Mom and I have just been missing her terribly since morning. I came across your post while searching for some quotes and believe me, it has actually helped stop my tears and think about celebrating it as a day when I first met my Mom. Sorry for your loss, i can actually feel what you've been going through. Stay blessed, knowingly or unknowingly you are really helping people like me stay motivated through this journey called āLife'.
Teresa says:
Thank you for sharing this, it brought tears to my eyes. Our mom passed away from cancer on July 15, 2022 very unexpectedly. I miss her presence, our daily chats and her as a person. Her birthday is coming up next month and as I struggle to go through the stages of grief, I realize that I too will need to deal with her absence on my birthday. Iāll make sure to celebrate the day that she and I met! ā„ļø
Megan Albro says:
I am 38 today. I am also two birthdays without my desrly loved and lost parent ā my Dad. I came across your post because I have been sitting with tears streaming since my husband asked me if I was okay over 20 minutes ago. I was wondering if it was weird to dissolve into grief on your own birthday instead of your lost loved one.
Thanks for helping me feel less alone today.
Marianne says:

I hope I could get a reply.

Jennifer Talbot says:
Bout to lose it, holding back the tears. You are a beautiful human, and I know your mom was and is very proud of you, on your birthday and every day. I found your post because today is my daughter's birthday and this is the 7th I have not been with her, not by death, but by her choice and parental alienation to begin with. But she turns 22 today and has no appreciation for all the things you appreciated about your mother. I have not been able to be an influence on her, so she has chosen a path of hate and her selfishness is rewarded, when all I ever wanted was to be her mom, love her, make her happy and know that I made the world better through my offspring, not harder. I gave her everything I had. Maybe she will see that one day. For now, her birthday is about her, and I will keep counting. Remembering the day I first held her in my arms, and she made me so happy I truly thought I would never be sad again. This day and mother's day are pretty tough. I guess they are for you too. She did a great job.
