Mother's Day Poem: “To My Mother,” by Paul Eluard
She's standing on my eyelids
And her hair is tangled in mine
It's shaped like my hands
She has the same eye color as me
She disappears into my shadow
Like a stone in the sky.
Mother's Day Poem: “Dear Mom,” by Jacques Prévert
Dear Mom, when I think of you,
I think back on the happy days of my youth,
When you used to tell me a thousand and one stories,
And that you would shower me with your tender caresses.
Dear Mom, you are my sweet treasure,
The light that guides my steps,
The refuge where I find comfort,
When the world is cruel and faithless.
Dear Mom, your love is boundless,
Like the ocean, it has no end. It carries me away, cradles me, and rocks me,
Protects me from sorrow and grief.
Dear Mom, thank you,
For everything you've given me.
For your love, for your infinite tenderness,
I will always love you, for all eternity.
Mother's Day Poem: “Mom,” by Maurice Carême
"Mom" is a sweet word,
A smile, a piece of jewelry,
A Wonderful Garden
That blooms in the eyes.
It's a bouquet of roses,
A smile right in the heart,
A nest for a thousand things,
A sea of tenderness.
Mom, it's spring
Which comes back every year,
It's a child's song
For life, for eternity.
I find my bouquet of flowers

A Floral Poem for Mom: “Mom’s Hands,” by Maurice Carême
My Mom's Hands
They are like flowers,
Soft and delicate,
They bring happiness.
In the garden of my heart,
They plant seeds of love,
And every day I watch them hatch,
Like roses blooming at daybreak.
Thank you, Mom, for your love,
For this infinite sweetness,
You are the flower of my youth,
The Garden of My Life.
A Floral Poem for Mom: “To My Mother,” by Victor Hugo
I'm giving you some flowers, Mom,
Flowers from the garden of my heart,
They are gentle and full of light,
Just like your enchanting smile.
Your love is a garden,
Where do the most beautiful roses bloom,
A refuge, on a gentle morning,
Where a thousand things flourish.
Thank you, Mom, for this garden,
For those moments of happiness,
You are the most beautiful flower,
Which I cherish deeply.
A Floral Poem for Mom: “Mom” by René-François Sully Prudhomme
Mom, here are some flowers for you
Gentle, light as love,
They carry joy within them
About this bond that still unites us.
Each petal is a caress,
Each leaf, a tender kiss,
In this garden of tenderness,
Your heart is a beloved lily.
Mom, you are the rose in full bloom,
That brightens our gray days,
From ton amour, tu nous guéris,
And make our life a paradise.
Thank you for these precious moments,
For that light in your eyes,
You are the most beautiful of all flowers,
The guardian of our happiness.
A Floral Poem for Mom: “My Mother” by Maurice Carême
Blackbirds, sing! Here comes my mother.
Bloom as long as you can,
Lilacs and cherry trees!
Sun, shine your light
More lively than a whitewater river!
Run, wind! My mom is coming;
Look at the tiles
Nothing reflects his image
Just as the elderberry
Frame her face with flowers!
Look at the kitchen
To receive it, light it up!
Open the doors wide.
Hurry up, let's bring it
Here, the fruit and the best wine
And all the flowers in the garden.
Here's my mom now
At his child's house.

Tips for Writing Your First Mother's Day Poem
Great authors aren’t the only ones who can put the fruit of their filial love down on paper. You, too, can try your hand at writing a poem or a haiku to celebrate the love that binds you to your dear, beloved mother.
These few practical tips should help you avoid writer's block!
Express your feelings openly
Think about how you truly feel about your mom. Try to find simple words that reflect the love and affection that bind you to her.
Use a simple poetic structure
If you're new to writing, we recommend using a simple poetic form. To start, try free verse or short, clear sentences.
Use concrete images
To help you find inspiration, think of specific details or funny, touching, or memorable anecdotes. Feel free to add a touch of humor and playfulness—moms always appreciate that!
Stay true to yourself
Avoid fuss and flowery language. Talk about your mom in a candid and personal way. It’s best to steer clear of overly convoluted sentences or clichés.
Pay attention to the rhythm
Even if you use simple language, make sure your poem has a certain musicality. You can read the poem aloud to see if it sounds pleasant to the ear.
Have fun!
Above all, treat this exercise like a game! Write down your ideas on paper, and be kind to yourself, even if the result doesn’t seem perfect to you. Your poem is sure to touch your mom’s heart.
