2. "A Mother's Love"by Anonymous
Of all the special joys in life, The big ones and the small, A mother's love and tenderness Is the greatest of them all.
4. "My Mother"by Ann Taylor
Who fed me from her gentle breast,And hush’d me in her arms to rest,And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?My Mother. When sleep forsook my open eye, Who was it sung sweet hushaby, And rock’d me that I should not cry? My Mother.Who sat and watched my infant head,When sleeping in my cradle bed,And tears of sweet affection shed?My Mother.When pain and sickness made me cry,Who gazed upon my heavy eye,And wept for fear that I should die?My Mother.Who dress’d my doll in clothes so gay,And taught me pretty how to play.And minded all I had to say?My Mother.Who taught my infant lips to pray,And love God’s holy book and day.And walk in Wisdom’s pleasant way?My Mother.And can I ever cease to beAffectionate and kind to thee,Who was so very kind to me?My Mother.Ah, no! the thought I cannot bear;And if God please my life to spare,I hope I shall reward thy care,My Mother.Who ran to help me when I fell,And would some pretty story tell,Or kiss the place to make it well?My Mother.When thou art feeble, old, and gray,My healthy arm shall be thy stay,And I will soothe thy pains away,My Mother.And when I see thee hang thy head,‘Twill be my turn to watch thy bed.And tears of sweet affection shed,My Mother.For could our Father in the skiesLook down with pleased or loving eyes,If ever I could dare despiseMy Mother.

6. "Rock Me to Sleep"by Elizabeth Akers Allen
Backward, turn backward,O Time, in your flight,Make me a child again just for tonight!Mother, come back from the echoless shore,Take me again to your heart as of yore;Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care,Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair;Over my slumbers your loving watch keep;—Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!Backward, flow backward,O tide of the years! I am so weary of toil and of tears,—Toil without recompense, tears all in vain,—Take them, and give me my childhood again!I have grown weary of dust and decay,—Weary of flinging my soul-wealth away;Weary of sowing for others to reap;—Rock me to sleep, mother — rock me to sleep!Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue,Mother, O mother, my heart calls for you!Many a summer the grass has grown green,Blossomed and faded, our faces between:Yet, with strong yearning and passionate pain,Long I tonight for your presence again.Come from the silence so long and so deep;—Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!Over my heart, in the days that are flown,No love like mother-love ever has shone;No other worship abides and endures,—Faithful, unselfish, and patient like yours:None like a mother can charm away painFrom the sick soul and the world-weary brain.Slumber’s soft calms o’er my heavy lids creep;—Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!Come, let your brown hair, just lighted with gold,Fall on your shoulders again as of old;Let it drop over my forehead tonight,Shading my faint eyes away from the light;For with its sunny-edged shadows once moreHaply will throng the sweet visions of yore;Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep;—Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!Mother, dear mother, the years have been longSince I last listened your lullaby song:Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seemWomanhood’s years have been only a dream.Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace,With your light lashes just sweeping my face,Never hereafter to wake or to weep;—Rock me to sleep, mother, — rock me to sleep!
8. "To My Mother"by Lucretia Maria Davidson
O thou whose care sustained my infant years,And taught my prattling lip each note of love;Whose soothing voice breathed comfort to my fears,And round my brow hope’s brightest garland wove;
O say, amid this wilderness of life,What bosom would have throbbed like thine for me?Who would have smiled responsive?—who in grief,Would e’er have felt, and, feeling, grieved like thee?
Who would have hung around my sleepless couch,And fanned, with anxious hand, my burning brow?Who would have fondly pressed my fevered lip,In all the agony of love and wo?
Yes, thou hast lighted me to health and life,By the bright lustre of thy youthful bloom—Yes, thou hast wept so oft o’er every grief,That wo hath traced thy brow with marks of gloom.
9. "God Created Mothers"by Holly Giffers
When God created mothers, All as lovely as can be, He made one extra special, And saved her just for me!

11. "Mother O' Mine"by Rudyard Kipling
If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!I know whose love would follow me still, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
If I were damned of body and soul, I know whose prayers would make me whole, Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
13. "Sonnets are Full of Love, and This My Tome"by Christina Rossetti
Sonnets are full of love, and this my tome Has many sonnets: so here now shall be One sonnet more, a love sonnet, from me To her whose heart is my heart’s quiet home, To my first Love, my Mother, on whose knee I learnt love-lore that is not troublesome; Whose service is my special dignity, And she my loadstar while I go and come. And so because you love me, and because I love you, Mother, I have woven a wreath Of rhymes wherewith to crown your honoured name: In you not fourscore years can dim the flame Of love, whose blessed glow transcends the laws Of time and change and mortal life and death.

21. "God’s Special Creation"by Lenora McWhorter
The hand that rocks the cradlealso makes the house a home.It is the prayers of the motherthat keeps the family strong.
Mother communicates her lovein a thousand different ways.When there’s a need, she is there,whether it is night or day.
When challenges come our wayand when trials block our view,Mother kneels down beside her bedand prays the family through.
A picture memory brings to me;I look across the years and seeMyself beside my mother’s knee.I feel her gentle hand restrainMy selfish moods, and know againA child’s blind sense of wrong and pain.But wiser now, a man gray grown,My childhood’s needs are better known.My mother’s chastening love I own.
23. "If I knew as a Child"by Renee Duvall
Roses are red,Violets are blue,You're the world's best mom,And I deeply love you.
