The blooming rhododendrons and azealas line the lane, a small bird tweets and flits from branch to branch in the forsythia. Suddenly, you remember the smell of your mother's perfume. It's time to find the right card verse to celebrate Mother's Day by telling your mother how much you love her. Perhaps a verse below will be just right, or it will prompt you to write a verse of your own that will please her. (Want to know a little secret? She just might appreciate hearing a verse like this any time of the year!)

These are original Mother's Day poems, verses and sayings for you to use on blank cards, notes or letters, in emails and scrapbooks. Or maybe you would like to print one to post on the wall of your Mom's nursing home room. She just might like to read your appreciation of her often!

Mom, you may
   remember
My tiny, baby cry
   at two in the morning
And you fed me
My Grade Four
   complaints about
      homework
And you listened
   and advised
My teenage ache
   to have
      self-expression
And you released me
Yes, you probably
   remember
My life since then
   with all its
      peaks and valleys
And you still feed me
You still listen to me
   and advise me
And then you
   release me
Thanks for being so
   consistently loving
      all these years
Happy Mother's Day
