Our mums do so much for us and Mother's Day, or Mothering Sunday for the traditionalists is a wonderful way to show your appreciation. Nothing is more heartfelt than a meaningful message in a beautiful card. If you are struggling to find the words or are simply looking for some inspiration then our selection of Mother's Day messages are a great place to start.
You too, my mother, read my rhymes
To My Mother
For love of unforgotten times,
And you may chance to hear once more
The little feet along the floor.
by Robert Louis Stevenson - 1850-1894
Sonnets are full of love, and this my tome
Sonnets are full of love, and this my tome
Has many sonnets: so here now shall be
One sonnet more, a love sonnet, from me
To her whose heart is my heart’s quiet home,
To my first Love, my Mother, on whose knee
I learnt love-lore that is not troublesome;
Whose service is my special dignity,
And she my loadstar while I go and come.
And so because you love me, and because
I love you, Mother, I have woven a wreath
Of rhymes wherewith to crown your honoured name:
In you not fourscore years can dim the flame
Of love, whose blessed glow transcends the laws
Of time and change and mortal life and death.
Christina Rossetti - 1830-1894
Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,
To My Mother
The angels, whispering to one another,
Can find, among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore by that dear name I long have called you—
You who are more than mother unto me,
And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you
In setting my Virginia's spirit free.
My mother—my own mother, who died early,
Was but the mother of myself; but you
Are mother to the one I loved so dearly,
And thus are dearer than the mother I knew
By that infinity with which my wife
Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life.
Edgar Allan Poe - 1809-1849
