Mother’s Day poems for mum, mam, mummy etc

Mother’s Day is, of course, a day to celebrate mothers, so we’ve collected together a few verses specifically for mums, mams and mummies. If however yours happens to be a mother or a mom or a ma, worry not, you can use any of those in place of our suggestions.

Today’s a day for taking time
to thank you for all you’ve done.
A special day to remind you,
you’re the most amazing mum.

You know how much I love you, right?
(it’s really not a big mystery).
But did you know I also think
you’re the best mummy in history!

With special love on Mother’s Day
for all you are and do,
Because no mummy anywhere
is half as great as you!

I could search the whole world over
but I’m sure I’d never find…
A mam as wonderful as you –
Who's so caring, warm and kind.

Mother’s Day poems for nan, grandma, granny, gran etc

Not just on this special day, Granny,
but throughout the whole year too,
The things that make you happiest
are always wished for you. 

Making life fun and exciting,
doing the wonderful things you do,
Nana, there’s no one else as sweet
or quite as lovely as you. 

No grandma could ever be loved more,
than the special one this card is for.

Nan, this card is just for you,
and here's the wish that's in it –
Hope you have a Mother's Day
that's happy every minute!

You’re thought about with gratitude
for everything you share.
The words often don’t get spoken,
but the love is always there. 

In every little thing you do,
I see the amazing mum in you –
And every day of my whole life,
I’ll thank my stars that you’re my wife. 

The way you care, the love you express...
as a wife and mum, you're just the best.

With thoughts of all the lovely ways
you brighten every day,
I send you so many special thanks –
much more than words can say! 

You lend a hand, you understand,
your thoughtfulness shines through,
with tender care, beyond compare,
in everything you do. 

A special wish to let you know,
the feelings words don’t often show.
Because sometimes it's hard to say
how much you mean from day to day.
So, though these thanks are overdue
they bring a world of love to you. 

Although this note is bringing love
and wishes for today,
you know it hopes that happiness
will always come your way.
