The mother is an angel who watches us
that teaches us to love!
She warms our fingers, our head
between his knees, our soul
in his heart: he gives us his milk when
we are small, his bread when
we are great and his life always.

Nursery rhyme of words: whoever wants to come forward.
My head is full of words, as in "the moon" and "the whale".
But the most beautiful in my heart, I hear them beating: "mom", "love".
Poetry To my mother, Edmondo De Amicis
De Amicis is certainly known for his novel Heart, but he was also a poet. Among his poems, there is this poignant dedication to his mother, a woman no longer young, but who for the writer represents everything.
Time does not always erase beauty
or tears and troubles touch her
my mother is sixty years old
and the more I look at it the more it looks beautiful.
It doesn't have a saying, a smile, a look, an act
that doesn't touch my heart sweetly.
Ah if I were a painter,
I would paint his portrait all my life.
I would like to portray her when she bows her face
so that I kiss her white braid
and when sick and tired,
hides his pain under a smile.
Ah if it were my welcome in heaven
I wouldn't ask the great painter from Urbino
the divine brush
to crown his beautiful face with glory.
I wish I could change life with life,
give her all the vigor of my years
I would like to see me old and her ...
from my sacrifice rejuvenated!
Poetry For mom, William Shakespeare
Of the entire repertoire of the English poet, this is not one of the best known poems. However, what is evident is the sweetness and the profound meaning of these four lines: Shakespeare's short poem is aimed more than anything else at every child, who she always carries something of her mother within her: in her eyes, in her hands or even in her expressions.
You are your mother's mirror,
and she lives again in you
the sweet April of the flower
of his years ...
Poetry The mother, Giuseppe Ungaretti
In this lyric, Ungaretti imagines what that moment will be, that of his death, when he will be able to embrace his beloved mother again.
And the heart when it takes one last beat
will have brought down the wall of shadow
to lead me, Mother, to the Lord,
as once you will give me your hand.
On your knees, determined,
You will be a statue before the eternal,
as he already saw you
when you were still alive.
You will raise your old arms trembling,
as when you expired saying: My God, here I am.
And only when he has forgiven me,
you will want to look at me.
You will remember waiting for me so long,
and you will have a quick sigh in your eyes.
Poetry Mum, Ada Negri
Ada Negri is considered one of the most important Italian poetesses of all time. A rebellious woman, cultured but at the same time "popular" and patriotic: in this poem, she portrays the mother in her normality, without exaltation or censorship. However, this is precisely its strength.
Mom is no longer young
and already has a lot of hair
gray: but his voice is shrill
of a little girl and everything in her is clear
and energetic: the step, the movement,
the look, the word.
Poetry Thanks Mom, Judith Bond
In the "span of life, you never say enough" thank you "to your mom. For everything they do for a child, mothers are truly special people and should always be thanked. These sweet words from Judith Bond can be easily recited by a child, but they should also apply to any adult child and not just during this special holiday.
Thanks Mom
because you gave me
the tenderness of your caresses,
good night kiss,
your thoughtful smile,
your sweet hand that gives me security.
You secretly dried my tears,
you encouraged my steps,
you corrected my mistakes,
you protected my path,
you educated my spirit,
with wisdom and love
you introduced me to life.
And while you watched carefully over me
you found the time
for the thousand housework.
You never thought
to ask for a thank you.
Thanks Mom.
Poetry Plead with My Mother, Pier Paolo Pasolini
In Pasolini's entire repertoire, there is no shortage of touching and moving poems, but Plead with My Mother it is one of his most poignant compositions. It is a child's request to his mother not to leave him, because she is the only person who really knows him and because that separation would constitute eternal loneliness for the poet.
It is difficult to say in son's words
what in my heart I resemble very little.
You are the only one in the world who knows about my heart
what has always been, before any other love.
This is why I have to tell you what it is horrendous to know:
it is within your grace that my anguish is born.
You are irreplaceable. For this she is damned
to loneliness the life you gave me.
I do not want to be alone. I have an infinite hunger
of love, of the love of bodies without a soul.
Because the soul is in you, it's you, but you
you are my mother and your love is my bondage:
I spent my childhood a slave to this sense
high, irremediable, of an immense commitment.
It was the only way to feel life,
the only color, the only shape: now it's over.
We survive: and it is confusion
of a life reborn out of reason.
I beg you, ah, I beg you: don't want to die.
I am here, alone, with you, in a future April ...

our; we are all far away. But you have amazing
blessed your hands.
They are born clear in you from the mantle,
bright outline:
I am the dew, the day,
but you, you are the plant.
