Short Mother’s Day Poems

Mother’s Day is coming up and many of us will be looking for some short Mother’s Day Poems so we can write a little something in a Mother’s Day card or maybe make a little hand print craft of our little ones to pas along to our moms on Mother’s Day. Being a mom is a gift and the special moments and the little things in life like a short Mother’s Day poem in a card with hand prints are the things we cherish from the little ones!

Directions: Cut and paste one of the poems below and print or hand write it on a piece of a 8.5X11′ paper. Take a paper plate and spread out some washable non toxic paint.

Carefully dip hands in pain then onto each side of the 8.5X11′ paper (as seen above). Glue a small wallet size photo in between the hand prints.

Now for some Mother’s Day poems to celebrate the gift that is motherhood:

Fingerprint Poem
My dirty little fingerprints I’ve left on every wall
And on the drawers and tabletops, I’ve really marked them all
But here are some that won’t rub off, I’m giving them to you
Because I’m thankful to have a mom that’s just like you!

Handprint Poem
Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.

But every day I’m growing –
I’ll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.

So here’s a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.

Getting Bigger Poem
Children have a certain way
of growing bigger every day,
But these little hands
and this special smile
will stay in our
hearts a long, long while.

Shrewd Judge
Mom, although I’m just a child
I’m a shrewd judge you’ll see
And I’ve got a team of pets and toys
Who all agree with me
When it comes to Mummies
There’s a lot of them about
But you’re the very, very best
Us experts have no doubt

Happy Mother’s Day!

“To My Mother” by Christina Rosetti

Rosetti, a 19th century English poet best known for her lengthy poem called “Goblin’s Market,” wrote this short piece about her mother in 1842:

To-day’s your natal day;
Sweet flowers I bring:
Mother, accept, I pray
My offering.
And may you happy live,
And long us bless;
Receiving as you give
Great happiness.
