Free Mothers Day Poems

You can see it in their eyes,
in tender hugs and long good-byes,
a love that only moms and daughters know.

You can see it in their smiles,
through passing years and changing styles,
a friendship that continually seems to grow.

You can see it in their lives,
the joy each one of them derives,
in just knowing that the other one is there...

To care and to understand,
lend an ear or hold a hand,
and to celebrate the memories they share.

Our mother is the sweetest and
Most delicate of all.
She knows more of paradise
Than angels can recall.
She's not only beautiful
But passionately young,
Playful as a kid, yet wise
As one who has lived long.

Her love is like the rush of life,
A bubbling, laughing spring
That runs through all like liquid light
And makes the mountains sing.

Everything Mom

How did you find the energy, Mom
To do all the things you did,
To be teacher, nurse and counselor
To me, when I was a kid.

How did you do it all, Mom,
Be a chauffeur, cook and friend,
Yet find time to be a playmate,
I just can’t comprehend.

I see now it was love, Mom
That made you come whenever I'd call,
Your inexhaustible love, Mom
And I thank you for it all.

Sweety Bird!!! Yummm I'm so happy I'm not dieting :)




Ingredients
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup white chocolate chips
1 Twinkie
Chocolate sprinkles
Orange frosting
2 candy lemon slices


Instructions
To make a pair of nests, first spread 1/2 cup of shredded coconut on a cookie sheet and toast it under a broiler until golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove the coconut from the oven, stir it, then toast it for 30 seconds more. Repeat as needed until all of the coconut is evenly toasted, then let it cool.
Next, melt 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips in a double boiler according to the package directions. Remove the pan from the heat (keep the chocolate over the warm water) and stir in the coconut.
For the nestlings, lay a Twinkie flat on your work surface and cut it in half. Press 2 chocolate sprinkles into each half for eyes and pipe on orange frosting beaks. Let the beaks set a bit, then stand the chicks upright on waxed paper and spoon the warm coconut mixture around them, shaping it into rings. Lastly, use frosting to stick on trimmed candy lemon slices (we used Brach's) for wings.



Check out the video for the Instructions on how to make this yummy sweet bird :) http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/sweety-bird-685342/

Jelly Bean Carrots



Ingredients
Disposable clear plastic icing bags (available where cake-decorating supplies are sold; about $4 for a dozen bags)
Orange jelly beans
Scissors
Green tissue paper
Twist ties


Instructions
Fill an icing bag with orange jelly beans, leaving at least 3 inches unfilled at the top.
Cut out two 8-inch squares of green tissue paper and lay one atop the other. Pick up the squares from the center and give them a little twist so you have a cone-shaped carrot top.
Place the tissue, twisted end down, into the bag. Gather the bag at the top of the jelly beans and secure with a twist tie

Hummingbird Nests



Ingredients

1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup shredded coconut
Jelly bean eggs


Instructions
Melt the chocolate chips, following the directions on the bag. When the chocolate is smooth, stir in the coconut, then drop the mixture by the heaping tablespoon onto waxed-paper-lined cookie sheets.

While the nests are still warm, use your thumbs to poke an impression into the middle of each. Cool them, then fill with jelly bean eggs. Makes about 1 dozen.

Cookies and Cream


Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 tablespoon corn syrup
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Whipped cream
Lemon sherbert


Instructions
In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour a little at a time. Wrap the dough in plastic and chill it until it is firm enough to roll.

Heat the oven to 375º. Wrap 4 ovenproof custard bowls in aluminum foil. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut out four 6-inch circles. Turn the bowls upside down and cover each with a dough circle, trimming the edges to create a cracked eggshell effect.

Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet, then set the inverted bowls on the rack. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cookies are light brown. Cool for 10 minutes. Then gently remove the cookies from the foil and let them cool completely.

When you're ready to serve dessert, set each shell on its side on a plate. Add a big dollop of whipped cream spilling out of the shell and top with a scoop of lemon sherbert. Makes 4 servings.

Happy Mothers Day- Funny Mothers Day Poems

My Mother's On the Phone Again!
My mother's on the phone again.
It makes my mood grow sour,
Waiting for the talk to stop. . .
I think it's been an hour.

My mother's on the phone again.
Will she get off? No way!
It's either Gramma or Aunt Kit. . . .
I think it's been a day.

My mother's on the phone again.
I talk, but she won't hear.
She said, "Just one more minute, Hon'." . . .
I think it's been a year.

She hangs it up, gives me a hug.
We start to talk and then . . .
I hear a ring. It's not . . .
Oh, no! She's on the phone again!
 


Mothers cannot do it all
But surely do they try.

Mothers hear the angel's call,
To comfort all who cry.

Mothers for themselves may fall,
For others they will fly.

Mother's bear the weight of all,
For their children, they would die.

A Mother's gift extends beyond
All bounds of time and space.

Her lovingness and nurturing
Make Earth a peaceful place.

Christian Mothers Day Poems

Christian Poems about Mother
By M.S.Lownd

We pray you’ll know God’s love
More abundant in your life
And know how much you’re valued
As a Mother and a wife
We want so much for you to know
We’ve appreciated you
And pray you’ll have a wonderful day
In all that you may do


Mother's Day Poem
Christian Verse
By Lachelle B. Ransom

Mothers are special people
God knew that from the start
That's why he created them in His own image and to them gave the biggest heart.
She's able to heal our hurts with only a kiss and hug
She's able to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner and is never slow as a slug.
Mothers are special people
God knew they'd always be
He created them to do so much that involves you and me.
She has to be a teacher to teach us what we need to know
She has to be a taxi driver to get us where we need to go.
Mothers are special people
God knew His work was complete
When He created someone that could do SOOO much on her own two feet.
She is a Christian on Him she depends
She displays the fruit of the Spirit and a helping hand she is willing to lend.
Mothers are special people
God tells me so each day
For if it weren't for Him I wouldn't be one today.


Twilight
Christian poem By Winifred Sackville Stoner, Jr.

Of all the hours of day or night
Give me the twilight hour,
When little birds hide out of sight
And every sylvan bower
Is filled with their sweet good night song,
While darkness creeps apace
O'er all the bright blue sky along
And hides the sun's gold face.

That is the hour when Mother dear
Says, "Come, sweetheart," to me,
"And of the earth's great heroes hear
While sitting on my knee."
Upon her arm I rest my hand
And wondrous stories hear,
Until it's time to go to bed,
Tucked in by Mother dear.


Godmothers Aren't Fairies in a Tale
By Nicholas Gordon

Godmothers aren't fairies in a tale,
Offering a world that cannot be.
Demand of them glass slippers and they fail,
More likely to do favors naturally.
On them you can depend for a relation:
They offer gifts and guidance with a kiss.
Having taken on the obligation,
Each freely out of love gives what she is.
Real godmothers have no wands or wings,
So they must work with wisdom, love, and things.
