In celebration of mothers, I’ve gathered the following poetry collections. Some include original works, others feature works from famous dead poets. Most allow the use of their poems on handmade Mother’s Day cards, but be sure to check each site’s terms of usage site for specific copyright.

Day For Mothers: Mother’s Day Poems

The poems at Day for Mothers are organized into genres such as funny, religious, short, by moms, for kids and gratitude poems. Most of the poems have bylines, but there are no usage guidelines, and I have no idea whether these poems are reproduced with the author’s permission. Here’s a snippet I liked from an unknown author. “All through the year / I’ll try to do / The things that show / My love for you. / And not be happy just to say, / ‘I love you, Mother,’ on Mother’s Day.”

Mother’s Day Central: 101 Poems for Moms

Mother’s Day Central is my pick of the week because of their great poem categories (such as Sons to Mom, Daughters to Mom, For Wives, For Step-Moms, and so on) and for their tips on writing your own poem for mom. “Most importantly, have fun! It doesn’t matter whether you’re a master poet or excellent speller – your love is sure to show through if you just do your best and enjoy the process. It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be ‘made especially for my beloved Mom.'”

Poems for Free: Mother’s Day Poems

“A mother’s love determines how / We love ourselves and others. / There is no sky we’ll ever see / Not lit by that first love.” Poet and retired college professor Nicholas Gordon shares his Mother’s Day poems. Because he allows free personal and non-commercial use of his poems, his site is a great resource for students, teachers and anyone making a home-made Mother’s Day card. He is quite prolific, and this is one of today’s largest poem collections.
