There are few jobs as tough as being a mother. No matter how a person becomes a mom, the journey is often just as taxing as it is rewarding. And though wonderful mamas should be appreciated each and every day, you should definitely make sure the moms in your life know just how much you love, appreciate, and value them on Mother's Day, which takes place on May 8 this year. For some, finding the right words to express how you feel can be challenging, and that's where Mother’s Day poems come in handy.
Of course, your Mother's Day celebrations don't have to be limited to the woman who birthed you. You can use the day to show appreciation for your grandmother, adoptive mother, mother-in-law, step-mom, guardian, or anyone else who served as a maternal figure in your life. Whether you choose to say "I love you" with a thoughtful gift, a homemade brunch, a cute DIY craft, or simply with some quality time, a beautiful poem about Mother's Day can help add meaning to the day. Even though the words won’t come directly from you, the special mom or moms in your life will still weep over the heartfelt message written by Rupi Kaur, Christy Ann Martine, Lang Leav, and George Cooper, among others.
Write one of these thoughtful poems inside her card or read one aloud during whatever activity you have planned. Whether you deliver your note in the mail, over the phone, or in person, these Mother's Day poems are sure to show your mom what she means to you on May 8 (and every day, for that matter).
