Short Christian Mothers Day Poems

Several of these poems are originals written by my friend Holly, so you won’t find them anywhere else on the web.

Thank The Lord

Every day I thank The Lord Oh yes I really do, For giving me a mother, As sweet and kind as you! ~ Holly Giffers

God’s Gifts

God gives us everything, His wisdom, strength, and love, He also gave me you mom, And I thank the stars above! ~ Holly Giffers

God Created Mothers

When God created mothers, All as lovely as can be, He made one extra special, and saved her just for me! ~ Holly Giffers

A Mom like You

There is no blessing quite so dear as a mom like you to love year after year! ~ Anon.

Mothers Prayer (short version)

I thank you from the heart For all you’ve done for me And I bless The Lord for giving me The best mother there could be! ~ Anon

Motherhood (short version)

Through the years a mother has been All that’s sweet and good For there’s one bit of God and love, In all true Motherhood. ~ Helen Steiner Rice

A Mother’s Love (short version)

A Mother’s heart and a Mother’s faith And a Mother’s steadfast love Were fashioned by the Angels And sent from God above. ~ Anon.

Proverbs 31:25-28

She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Proverbs 31:25-28

Medium-length Christian Mothers Day Poems

Here are some longer Christian Mothers day poems that could still work well in a card or note to your mom.

Wonderful Mother of Mine

I pray every night to our Father above, For that wonderful mother of mine. I ask Him to keep her as long as He can That wonderful mother of mine. There are treasures on earth, That made life seem worthwhile, But there’s none can compare To my mother’s smile. ~ Clyde Hager

Wonderful Mother

God made a wonderful mother, A mother kind yet bold, He made her smile of the sunshine, And He molded her heart of pure gold; In her eyes He placed bright shining stars, In her cheeks fair roses you see, God made a wonderful mother, And He gave that dear mother to me. ~ Pat O’Reilly

(Ed: The original second line of this poem is “A mother who never grows old”, but I changed it because everyone grows old and surely that’s part of God’s plan)

A Mother’s Love

A Mother’s love, a Mother’s care, A Mother’s sigh, a Mother’s prayer A Mother’s work, and Mother’s day, Leaves little time for any play. A Godly Mother with Godly love, Is treasure from God above, A Godly Mother with Godly care, Has God’s help when she sighs a prayer. ~ Calvin M Lake

Longer Christian Mothers Day Poems

These Christian mothers day poems are a bit longer but they’ll still just fit in a card if you keep your writing small.

God’s Masterpiece

God took the fragrance of a flower, The majesty of a tree, The gentleness of morning dew, The calm of a quiet sea. The beauty of the twilight hour, The soul of a starry night, The laughter of a rippling brook, The grace of a bird in flight. Then God fashioned from these things, A creation like no other, And when his masterpiece was through, He called it simply – Mother. ~ Herbert Farnham

Mothers Prayer (long version)

I said a Mother’s Day prayer for you To thank The Lord above For blessing me with a lifetime Of your tenderhearted love. I thanked God for the caring You’ve shown me through the years, For the closeness we’ve enjoyed In time of laughter and of tears. And so I thank you from the heart For all you’ve done for me And I bless The Lord for giving me The best mother there could be! ~ Anon

Motherhood (long version)

The dearest gifts that heaven holds, The very finest, too, Were made into one pattern That was perfect, sweet, and true; The Angels smiled, well-pleased, and said: “Compared to all the others, This pattern is so wonderful Let’s use it just for Mothers!” And through the years a mother has been All that’s sweet and good For there’s one bit of God and love, In all true Motherhood. ~ Helen Steiner Rice

A Mother’s Love (long version)

There are times when only a Mother’s love Can understand our tears, Can soothe our disappoints And calm all of our fears. There are times when only a Mother’s love Can share the joy we feel, When something we’ve dreamed about Quite suddenly is real. There are times when only a Mother’s faith Can help us on life’s way, And inspire in us the confidence We need from day to day. For a Mother’s heart and a Mother’s faith And a Mother’s steadfast love, Were fashioned by the Angels And sent from God above. ~ Anon

Her Love is Like an Island

Mother’s love is like an island, In life’s ocean vast and wide A peaceful, quiet shelter From the wind, the rain, the tide. ‘Tis bound on the north by Hope, By Patience on the west, By tender Counsel on the south And on the east by Rest. Above it like a beacon light Shine Faith, and Truth, and Prayer; And thro’ the changing scenes of life I find a haven there. ~ Anon

Thank God for Mother’s Love

There is no love, like a mother’s love, no stronger bond on earth… like the precious bond that comes from God, to a mother, when she gives birth. A mother’s love is forever strong, never changing for all time… and when her children need her most, a mother’s love will shine. God bless these special mothers, God bless them every one… for all the tears and heartache, and for the special work they’ve done. When her days on earth are over, a mother’s love lives on… through many generations, with God’s blessings on each one. Be thankful for our mothers, for they love with a higher love… from the power God has given, and the strength from up above. ~ Anon

God’s Helpers

God could not be in every place With loving hands to help erase The teardrops from each baby’s face, And so He thought of mother. He could not send us here alone And leave us to a fate unknown; Without providing for His own, The outstretched arms of mother. God could not watch us night and day And 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 hand Securely into mother’s. The days of youth slipped quickly by, Life’s sun rose higher in the sky. Full grown were we, yet ever nigh To 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
