What to write in a Mother's Day card


"Dear Mom…"

Oh no! You know you love her, you know what she means to you but your mind is blank. What to write in a Mother’s Day card? How to put all that love and appreciation for mom (or your partner – or any wonder woman in your life) into words that go beyond ‘Happy Mother’s Day’? How can you thank her for all the wonders she's done for you? The homeschooling, the emotional support, the love.

Don’t worry. We’ve got a few poetic ideas for Mother's Day verses that will help the ink, and the tears of joy, flow – whether you're spending the day together or apart.

you mean the world to me

A Mother’s Day message for someone who isn't your mom

She said ‘you can do anything.’
She said ‘always be kind.’
She said ‘believe in yourself.’
She said ‘know your own mind.’

That person was you.
You made me who I am.
I’ll forever be grateful.
I’m your number one fan.


A Mother’s Day message to say she’s your best friend
