Howard Johnson's 1915 poem which begins "M is for the million things she gave me..." is probably the most famous Mother's Day poem ever written, but there are plenty more to choose from, if you are making a home made card for Mom this year.

M-O-T-H-E-R
- "M" is for the million things she gave me
- "O" means only that she's growing old
- "T" is for the tears she shed to save me
- "H" is for her heart of purest gold;
- "E" is for her eyes with love-light shining
- "R" means right, and right she'll always be.
- Put them all together, they spell Mother
- A word that means the world to me—Howard JohnsonMothers.net: M-O-T-H-E-R

Mother o' Mine
- 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, 0 mother o' mine!—Rudyard Kipling 1890Google Books: The Light that Failed
