Heartwarming Mother’s Day Poems for Children to Write or Recite

Mother’s Day is a time to say “thank you” — and what better way than with a beautiful poem from the heart?

We often explore poetry and rhyming with children as a fun way to build language skills. And when children share a poem they’ve written or memorised for their mum, it’s always a moment to remember.

Here are a few simple, heartwarming Mother’s Day poems that children can recite, decorate, or even help write!

 

A Little Poem Just for Mum

I love you more than words can say,  

You help me learn and laugh each day.  

You tuck me in and kiss my head,  

And read me stories before bed.  

So here’s a hug, and just for you —  

Happy Mother’s Day! Thank you!

 

Mummy and Me

You hold my hand when I feel small,  

You catch me when I start to fall.  

You laugh and play and always care,  

And show your love is everywhere.  

I’m so lucky — yes, it’s true —  

To have a mum as kind as you.

Happy Mother’s Day to my amazing Mum!

 

A Short and Sweet One

Roses are red,  

Violets are blue,  

I love you, Mum,  

And I know you love me too!

 

Tips for Sharing Poems with Mum

• Write the poem on a decorated card or piece of paper.

• Turn it into a poster with drawings or handprints.

• Practice reciting the poem to surprise Mum on Mother’s Day morning.

• Record a video message for faraway family — a poem performance always brings smiles.

At Kenmore Hills Early Learning, we love helping children express themselves — and there’s something truly special about a little voice sharing a big message of love. Happy Mother’s Day to all our amazing mums and mother figures — you deserve every bit of love coming your way.
