Mother’s Day is one of the most popular holidays for sending that special card to mom. When choosing the perfect card, it’s important to find the saying that conveys your feelings. That isn’t always easy.
I have found 10 special sayings, quotes, or verses that anyone can include in or on a Mother’s Day card.The website www.famouspoemsandpoets.com was helpful. I searched for just the right words. Each saying or quote expresses sentiments of love to mom, but in different ways.
My favorites are sentimental ones. These were chosen for people who like to fully express their emotions and bring a tear to mom’s eyes. They can also be used for people who find it difficult to express their feelings out loud.
God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.
Pat O’Reilly
“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.”
Abraham Lincoln [This is my favorite mother’s day saying and if my mother were alive, I would write it in her card.]
My Mother, my friend so dear
throughout my life you’re always near.
A tender smile to guide my way
You’re the sunshine to light my way.
