With Love for Mothers
May There Always be Sunshine
May there always be sunshine,
May there always be blue skies,
May there always be Mama,
May there always be me.

Traditional Russian Song

Mother's Hug
Every baby; bird and bee,
Every squirrel in the tree,
Every butterfly and bug,
Loves to feel his mother’s hug.

I Really Love You
I really love you Mommy.
Hope your Mother’s Day is fun.
Here’s hugs and kisses for you
From your “darling little one.”

Author Unknown

A Mother
A mother is a helper
A mother is a friend
A mother is a person
On whom I can depend.

E.M.E.

I Have a Mother
I have a Mother.
My Mother is like no other.
She hugs me everyday
We sing and read and play.
I love my Mother.

Nellie Edge

Adapted From I Have a Cat

 

Mother
My Mother gives me hugs
When she knows that I am sad.
She kisses my little nose
Then I don’t feel so bad.

E.M.E.

You are My Mother
(Tune: You are My Sunhine)
You are my Mommy,
My only Mommy.
You make me happy,
When skies are grey.
You’ll always know, Mom,
How much I love you,
For I’ll tell you every day.

You are My Mommy
(Tune: You are My Sunhine)
You are my Mommy,
My favorite Mommy.
You make me happy
Everyday!
You’ll never know Mom,
How much I love you.
You are sweet in every way!
So….Have a Happy
Mother’s Day

Diane Bonica

Mother is Love
Who gives the biggest hugs
To you?
Who smiles the brightest smile?
Who laughs and sings
And cooks for you?
I’ll tell you what her name is—
Mother is Love.
