Poems about the Loss of a Mother – 10 Poems to Lift Your Spirit When Mom’s Gone
Poems about the Loss of a Mother will always move you to Tears. Have you ever wondered why the love of a mother to her child is called unconditional? Any mother loves her kids, whether they are daughters or sons, no matter what.
Life is an unpredictable thing; it can bring you quite a few unpleasant surprises. Yet, as long as a son has his mother’s shoulder to lean on, no problem is as big and challenging as it seems.
This is the way we see it.
1. Title: “A Mother Knows Her Son”
My dear, sweet boy,
I’ve seen it all
from your first kicks
to your first kiss.
You might think right now
you know it all,
but I’ve seen more of you
than you ever knew.A Mother knows her son
better than anyone ever could
because I gave you life
and help you shine your light.Through laughter and tears,
joys and fears,
I’ve watched you grow,
my love for you continues to flow.
2. Title: “I’d Choose You Again, Son”
I may not be your mother by birth,
But you’re my true son in my heart.
I chose to create this bond with you,
And no one can tear it apart.I couldn’t love you more even if
I had carried you in my own womb.
My heart’s bursting at the seams with love,
And there simply isn’t any more room.I bless the woman who gave you life
And let you come to our family.
If I had to do it all over,
I’d choose you again as the son for me.
In this journey we’ve embraced together,
Through every storm and sunny weather,
You’ve filled our home with joy and glee,
Forever my cherished son, you’ll always be.
3. Title: “My Mothers Garden”
In the garden of my heart, my Mother sowed,
Seeds of goodness, in life, they flowed.
She guided me to face the sun’s gleam,
Nurturing dreams like a gentle stream.Fostering the roots of self-esteem,
She shielded me when storms grew extreme.
Not too much, for she wisely knew,
I needed strength to stand and breakthrough.Her constant example, a moral song,
Guided me through right and wrong.
She left markers on my life’s trail,
A legacy of love that will never fail.I am my Mother’s living garden,
Her teachings, a lasting pardon.
Today, I hope she feels love anew,
As it reflects from me to the woman who knew.
4. Title: “A Mother’s Love”
A mother gives her children
Stepping stones to the stars.
Her love is unconditional;
Her heart has no bars.A mother teaches her children
To be confident and bold.
Her special love for her children ,
More valuable than silver or gold.A mother picks up her children
And wipes away life’s tears.
She scares away monsters in the night
And silences life’s fears.Mother, I’m grateful
for all these things that you do,
And on this special Mother’s Day,
I want you to know how much I love you.
5. Title: “I’m Here”
Sleep now, my angel, and rest your eyes.
Mommy must say her last goodbyes.
Please don’t be sad, and please don’t cry.
Mommy will give you the wings to fly.If you don’t want to say goodbye,
Mommy will watch you and stand by your side.
Life is not fair, but please understand
Mommy’s not far, I’m holding your hand.I’ll kiss you goodnight, chase monsters away,
Warm up your heart on a cold winter day,
Be the sun on your skin, the wind in your hair.
I’m never too far, I’m standing right there.Live out your life and bid me farewell.
Find in your heart the strength to excel.
Your future is bright, you’ll go far, my dear.
Don’t get too sad, don’t worry.
6. Title: “Through My Eyes”
Through my eyes
All I see
Is a perfect little boy
Staring back at meTo the world outside
He may seem broken
But our love, our bond
Remains unspokenHe has few words
But his actions speak loud
My heart swells
He makes me so proudDon’t judge my son
By what you see
You’d see his soul
If you looked closely
7. Title: “For My Son”
Where did you come from, little one?
I see you every day and I
Still can’t believe this is my SON
With golden hair and storm gray eyes.What do I know of little boys?
My life’s been filled with only girls.
These snips and snails and warcraft toys
Have changed the way I see the world.Still I will do the best I can
To teach what I want you to know.
And with unskilled but loving hands
I’ll plant the seeds and pray they grow.In this adventure, father and son,
Learning together, laughter and fun.
A bond so pure, a love that’s true,
Guiding you as you begin to bloom.
8. Title: “If Roses Grow in Heaven”
In the heavenly fields where roses bloom,
Lord, gather a bouquet, dispelling gloom.
Place them tenderly in Mother’s embrace,
Tell her they’re from me, a gesture of grace.Convey my love, my yearning so sincere,
As she turns to smile, draw her near.
Bestow a kiss upon her gentle cheek,
Hold her close, comfort her, for moments unique.Though memories are a daily embrace,
An ache within my heart, an enduring trace.
Remembering is easy, yet tears may stay,
The void persists, never fading away.For in the garden where roses forever bloom,
Let Mother know, beyond earthly gloom.
Her presence cherished, in every passing day,
An eternal connection that will never sway.
9. Title: “The Carpenter’s Son”
“Here the hangman stops his cart:
Now the best of friends must part.
Fare you well, for ill fare I:
Live, lads, and I will die.“Oh, at home had I but stayed
‘Prenticed to my father’s trade,
Had I stuck to plane and adze,
I had not been lost, my lads.“Comrades all, that stand and gaze,
Walk henceforth in other ways;
See my neck and save your own:
Comrades all, leave ill alone.“Make some day a decent end,
Shrewder fellows than your friend.
Fare you well, for ill fare I:
Live lads, and I will die.”
10. Title: “A Poem for Mother”
Mother, once a girl, so young,
Many years ago, life just begun.
With dreams and loves that brightly gleam,
You witnessed us in life’s endless stream.Observing as we repeated your past,
Mistakes you made, we lived them fast.
Yet, you held us close, love overflowed,
In every stumble, your care bestowed.We seldom ponder on the scenes you’ve viewed,
To us, just ‘Mother,’ in moments hued.
Now, with love, we reflect upon your story,
From the dawn of life to its final glory.Grateful for the times we’ve spent,
As Mother and Friend, your love unbent.
In our hearts, your legacy won’t bend,
Forever cherished, our dear mother, and friend.

Life’s short, so create moments you and your son can reminisce about in years to come.
