1. What Mother Means %u2013 by Karl Fuchs
%u201CMother%u201D is such a simple word,
But to me there%u2019s meaning seldom heard.
For everything I am today,
My mother%u2019s love showed me the way.
2. To My Mother %u2013 by Christina Rossetti
To-day%u2019s 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.
3. 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 drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
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!

4. Rupi Kaur, %u201CI Will Have to Wait Until I%u2019m a Mother%u201D from Milk and Honey
###i struggle so deeply
to understand
how someone can
pour their entire soul
blood and energy
into someone
without wanting
anything in
return
5. Tribute to Mother- by John Greenleaf Whittier
A picture memory brings to me;
I look across the years and see
Myself beside my mother%u2019s knee.
I feel her gentle hand restrain
My selfish moods, and know again
A child%u2019s blind sense of wrong and pain.
But wiser now, a man gray grown,
My childhood%u2019s needs are better known.
My mother%u2019s chastening love I own.
