A Daughter's Prayer

How can I tell you all that needs to be said?
All these years you helped me through
Planning each and every party
Playing the biggest part in my life that you do
You have always been the rock I lean on.

My only wish is that you’re forever to stay
Obstacles were fought and fights were argued
Together we would stay strong
Hear my prayer and forever stay near
Each beat of my heart yearns to be more like you
Reaching higher strengths and treating all with kindness
So many things I wish I could say.

Day after day, you still give me my perseverance
A present for you only I can give
Years have passed but still this remains, all I can say is…

                                                                            Happy Mother’s Day!


Has it already been nineteen year?
All my life you were there for me,
Planning each party
Playing the biggest part in my life
Years and years there you were.

Mommy, you hold the largest part of my heart
Obstinate as I was as a child
Together we fought through all the obstacles
How can I give back all that you have given me
Every day I wish to me more like you
Reaching higher, you always gave me the strength
So many things I wish I could say

Day after day, you gave me my perseverance
A present for you, only I can give
You my mother, Happy Mother's Day.

Author notes

I've been having trouble picking out which poem I should give to my mum on Mother's Day. I love them both, but the second one doesn't go as well with the title... and I really don't want to try and think up a new title, especially when I want to use the one I already have.

I also feel like the second one is all choppy while the other one seems to have one main topic it stays on.

Which one should be for my Mother?

    I actually prefer the second poem. it has more of an intimate feel to it, i think. But no matter which you choose, I'm sure your mother will absolutely love it.

  • Actually, if you wanted to make both these poems into one that would be great! You could do it pretty easily, actually. But if I had to pick one I'd pick the second one. I didn't think it was too choppy at all.

  • i know i might be less than helpful but...

    both are good...i am at a loss for a definite answer for your question though...sorry i couldnt help more...lol
