Poems for Mother's Day

So soft and warm
no other arm
holds you as your mother's does;
you never find such sweet repose
as when your eye on hers reposes. (after Paul Heyse)

On this happy day of days
I wish you, from my heart,
the loveliest and the best of things –
and your love, for my part. (unknown)

Come what may – as long as you live, it is day.
And out into the world I roam:
wherever you are, I am at home.
I see your dear face, and I see
no shadows of what is to be. (after Theodor Storm)

A bunch of flowers for a mother's love
is such a little thank-you to bring.
Would you believe me if I wrote
that I will love you all my life long? (unknown)
