Mum birthday – Thousands of stars in the night sky

Posted on
Thousands of stars in the night sky,
And shells on the shore together,
Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
Especially in sunny weather.

Millions of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Thousands of leaves in the fall,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,

But only one mother, that’s all.

Happy Birthday
To my Mum, the One and Only




Mum birthday – You were there when I took

Posted on

You were there when I took my first steps
And went unsteadily across the floor.
Thro’ my childhood you pushed and encouraged,
Till my steps took me out the door.

And wherever I go, you can be sure,
In spirit, you’re never alone.
For where you are, is what matters,
For that’s what I call home…

Happy Birthday


Mum birthday – You had so many things to do

Posted on

Mum, you had so many things to do,
From washing and ironing to tying a shoe.
You scrubbed, mended, cooked and sewed,
You kept us shod and you kept us clothed .

You were the doctor when we were ill,
Giving us a bandage, a hug or a pill?
You were the teacher when we had schoolwork to do
You gave us love and patience, too

You had so many things to do
It’s no wonder that I so love you
In life you’ve really passed the Test
Coming out on top, the best of the best

Thank you so much
Happy Birthday



Mum birthday – There are times when only a Mother’s love

Posted on

There are times when only a Mother’s love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we have dreamed about
Suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother’s love
Can help us on life’s way
And inspire in us, the confidence
We need from day to day.

Mother, thank you for your heart, faith and hope
And all your steadfast love
You were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above…

Happy Birthday Mum



Mum birthday – You filled my days with rainbow lights

Posted on
You filled my days with rainbow lights,
Fairy tales and ‘sweet dream’ nights,

A kiss to wipe away my tears,
Comforting words to ease my fears.


You gave the gift of life to me
And then in love, you set me free.
I thank you for your tender care,
For deep warm hugs and,…..
…just for being there.


Happy Birthday Mum



Mum birthday – Your motherly love is an island

Posted on

Your motherly love is an island
In life’s ocean, vast and wide
A peaceful, quiet shelter
From the wind, the rain, the tide.

‘Tis bound to the North, by hope,
By patience, to the West,
By tender counsel, to the South
And to the East, by rest.

Above it like a beacon light
Shine faith, truth and prayer;
And through the changing scenes of life
I found a haven there.


Happy Birthday
Mum



Mum birthday – I find myself wondering

Posted on

I find myself wondering…
Did I give you your due..
For all that you’ve done for me
Did I ever thank you?

For all of my childhood memories
For helping me deal with life’s stresses
For helping me accept my defeats
And celebrate my successes?

Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
Good judgement, courage, and being true
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we’ve shared
Did I ever thank you?

If I have forgotten, I’m thanking you now
You taught me right from wrong….
I hope you know how much you’re loved and appreciated
I hope you, instinctively, knew all along.

Happy Birthday Mum
