Mother’s Day Poems for Grandma
Table of Contents
Quiet Symphony
On Mother's Day, we softly tread
Through memory's lanes, where echoes spread.
Your laugh—a melody so clear,
In rooms where love dissolves all fear.
Cookies bake, sweet scents unwind,
Tales from old, your words entwined.
Knitting needles click in rhyme,
Each loop a beat, each row a chime.
Thank you, Grandma, for the songs
Of life you hummed, through rights and wrongs.
Today we hold, in quiet sway,
Our hearts in yours, this Mother's Day.

This poem is a tribute to her and all grandmothers who gently shape the world around them with their love and dedication.
Blooms for Grandma
Mother's Day brings a gentle cheer,
Old stories told, your laughter near.
Petals in your hair, so gray,
Sunshine dances in your fray.
Teacups clink to past and now,
Every wrinkle, a cherished vow.
Hands that held us, soft and kind,
In gardens of your seasoned mind.
May this day, sweet as marmalade,
Bless you, Grandma, in light arrayed.
Through the years, love's gentle sway,
We celebrate you today.
