I do hope you and your partner take the time to celebrate Your First Mothers Day - as both recognition and appreciation of one of the most important roles we play in life.

A First Mothers Day

Your first mothers day
Now you know just how true
When you give out your love
It comes back tenfold to you

Caress that soft baby skin
Share warm cuddles and hugs
And that deep soulful gaze
At your heartstrings it tugs

Know that this is real love
More intense than all other
These moments so precious
Now you are a mother

Pauline Oliver


There are some very special mums and dads out there who choose to share their love with children who may be having a hard time.

My Foster Mum

My foster mum is one in a million
Kids she loves, she's known a zillion
Our house is full of family and friends
Comings and goings it never ends
Spread far and wide other kids like me
All part of my loving foster family

Pauline Oliver

We'd love to hear about your foster mum and family. Send us your poem, letter or article to appear on a happinesspage of its own.
We've all heard that expression 'she's not my real mum,' and to be pc, birth mother. Here are some thoughts about a foster mother prompted by a discussion with a child recently. It kind of reminds me of that other saying about 'an old head on young shoulders.'

Some Mums and My Mum

Some mums have kids,
Just, one two or three
Mine has had hundreds
She's special you see
She's not my real mum
But with that I'm ok
Some mums can't hack it
And send their kids away

So I sure am lucky
Cos the mum I have now
She makes me feel safe
Though sometimes we row
Cos no mum is perfect
And we all have to learn
How best to raise kids
When it is our turn

Kids don't come with a guidebook
It's pretty much trial and error
But no kid should suffer
Anguish, torment and terror
Thank God for those willing
To share family and home
With kids less fortunate
Thro' no fault of their own

We know there are times
When tempers will fray
But that's kids and parents
At the end of the day
And my mum is special
She guides me her best
I know truly I am loved
Whatever life's test

Pauline Oliver


My mum was 87 this year. I think that deserves a mention don't you! So this little mum happy birthday poem acknowledges her passing years graciously I hope.
happy birthday poems - mum, grandma, great grandma birthday

Mum Birthday Poem

Mum, you've probably stopped counting years
But when everyone around you hears
The age you've reached, they gasp and sigh
What keeps you so young, my oh my
Great Grandmother, grandma, mother and wife
You kept your sense of humour with life
Now four generations send birthday wishes
Another year of happiness and a thousand kisses.

Pauline Oliver

A Mother Knows

A mother knows
When to praise
When to give stern reprimand
When to coax, coach and comfort
When to lend a guiding hand

A mother knows
How to cheer you
How to make you smile once more
How to see the funny side
How to pick you up off the floor

A mother knows
What you're thinking
What you care for, love or hate,
What's your passion or disapproval
What's the name of your best mate

A mother knows
so many things
So many times your secrets share
So many moments in which to love
So many ways to show her care

A mother knows
How much you appreciate her
The ways you tell her so
How hard it is to say those words
The ways in which you show

How much do you really love her?
Does YOUR mother really know?
Pauline Oliver

Happy Mothers Day Poem

Here are two versions of the same mother poem. One more general and the other more personalised.

Happy Mothers Day Poem

A mothers love is special
It cannot be quantified
For it dwells within a place
So very deep inside

Mum is always there for you
To keep you safe and cheer you on
To nurture and cajole you
And show you right from wrong

A mothers love is precious
Yet her work may go unsung
Oh such joy and such heartache
We bring when we are young

Mum is nurse, carer, teacher
Counsellor, friend and mentor
Her world has many facets
But her child is at her centre

So it is with love and understanding
Of her patience and dedication
We offer our heartfelt gratitude
And our warmest admiration

Without her love to guide us
We would not have come this far
A mother's love is special
She's truly a guiding star

Pauline Oliver


To Mum, with Love

My mothers love is special
It cannot be quantified
For it dwells within a place
So very deep inside

Mum you're always there for me
To keep me safe and cheer me on
To nurture and cajole me
To show me right from wrong

My mothers love is precious
Yet your work may go unsung
Oh such joy and such heartache
We brought when we were young

Mum, you are nurse, carer, teacher
Counsellor, friend and mentor
Your world has many facets
And your children are your centre

So it is with love and understanding
Of your patience and dedication
I give my heartfelt gratitude
And my warmest admiration

Without your love to guide me
I would not have come this far
My mother's love is special
You're truly my guiding star
