Learn about our Editorial Process Updated on February 07, 2019 Consider sharing one of these Christian poems with your Mom on Mother's Day. Brighten her day as you recite one aloud, or express your love and thanks by printing one on the card you give her. God's Helpers God could not be in every placeWith loving hands to help eraseThe teardrops from each baby's face,And so He thought of mother.He could not send us here aloneAnd leave us to a fate unknown;Without providing for His own,The outstretched arms of mother.God could not watch us night and dayAnd kneel beside our crib to pray,Or kiss our little aches away;And so He sent us mother.And when our childhood days began,He simply could not take command.That's why He placed our tiny handSecurely into mother's.The days of youth slipped quickly by,Life's sun rose higher in the sky.Full grown were we, yet ever nighTo love us still, was mother.And when life's span of years shall end,I know that God will gladly send,To welcome home her child again,That ever-faithful mother. -- George W. Wiseman To Mother You painted no MadonnasOn chapel walls in Rome,But with a touch divinerYou lived one in your home.You wrote no lofty poemsThat critics counted art,But with a nobler visionYou lived them in your heart.You carved no shapeless marbleTo some high-souled design,But with a finer sculptureYou shaped this soul of mine.You built no great cathedralsThat centuries applaud,But with a grace exquisiteYour life cathedraled God.Had I the gift of Raphael,Or Michelangelo,Oh, what a rare MadonnaMy mother's life would show! -- Thomas W. Fessenden A Mother's Love There are times when only a mother's loveCan understand our tears,Can soothe our disappointsAnd calm all of our fears. There are times when only a mother's loveCan share the joy we feelWhen something we've dreamed aboutQuite suddenly is real. There are times when only a mother's faithCan help us on life's wayAnd inspire in us the confidenceWe need from day to day. For a mother's heart and a mother's faithAnd a mother's steadfast loveWere fashioned by the angelsAnd sent from God above. --Author Unknown For You Mum On Mother's Day I want to tell you, MumThat you're special to the Lord,And you are valued in His eyes,For no one loves you more. And Mum, I want you to knowHow blessed you really are,For I know that it was never easy,Those past years were quite hard. But even through the years gone by,I believe that God was there,Reaching out with loving arms,Though we were unaware. And He is still beside youLonging to be a partOf all the things that interest you,For you're special in His heart. For even in the daily strugglesThat seems to be part of life,The Lord longs to be involvedAnd fill the void inside. So Mum, on this Mother's day,I just want you to knowThat you were always appreciatedAnd that Jesus loves you so. -- M.S.Lowndes Cite this Article Format mla apa chicago Your Citation Fairchild, Mary.
