For Mom

About this collection

Stories and poems about mothers, grandmothers and the love that holds families together. They’re perfect for Mother’s Day, a birthday card or any day you want to thank the woman who raised you.

Don’t Mess With Momma is a funny poem about a clever mother and her son’s “bill of rights”. In Being a Mother, a man takes another woman out to dinner at his wife’s suggestion: his own mother. Burned Biscuits is about the grace a mother shows at the dinner table, A Military Mother’s Prayer is for every mom with a child in uniform, and A Child’s Angel is a tender story about the love that waits for every baby.

You’ll also find poems about the joy of a messy house full of children and the debt we owe our mothers. For more, browse our family section.
