I am in need of help for a Mother's Day project. I would like to attached a poem to a candle. I'm not good at poetry (Mine sounds like Dr Seuss wrote it lol)

It's a mother/child candle symbolizing the child is lifting up the love that they feel for the mother for all the world to see and the light makes that love shine.

Can anyone help with a sweet poem?

Don't sell yourself short. Dr Seuss was a genius.

Come to think of it, wouldn't that be a fitting style for that kind of poem? A simple child like rhythm and rhyme?

You taught me
How to walk
How to talk
To look both ways before crossing the street
To stand on my own two feet
That sometimes I must choose
even if it means that I loose
Of all the things good and bad
Of all the moments happy and sad
While teaching me the things above
You taught me the meaning of Love.

Here's a quickie for ya...

A mothers love is more precious then gold
A guide and a teacher and our truest friend when we're old
A mothers love can never be sold
A blanket of warmth for when we get cold
A mothers love is more precious then gold

"Mom, this candle depicts the love and respect I feel for you as a mother and as a woman."


Keeping me safe, lighting my way...
My shinning beacon by night and by day...
Oh how I love you, how precious you are...
A blessing God gave me, my mother, my star...

You are the bright
in the dark of night
when I have lost my way.

I see the glow
And forever know
that love will light my day.

Mother:

In the best of times and times of strife,
you've been the guiding light throughout my life.

Encouraging words, never a harsh shout.
You have taught me what life is about.

And though in time your outer light may grow dim,
the light of your love will shine bright from within.

JMI

These are all great! Thank you soooooooo much. I might have another project for the Mingle poets soon bigsmile

bastet...I'm not sure people love yellow roses the way I do lol. I am making different candles (because I can't make up my mind lol)

I'm either going to embed a poem into the wax or put the poem on a little card attached to the candle

M.O.M.

My old mentor.
My crime preventer.
I was your second renter.
You never charged back then.
Still you are my good friend.
And will be till both our end.
Outside the womb is tough.
I know you too had it rough.
You said enough is enough.

I am the bottom
You are the top
Cause a mother's love
Will never stop
The wick between
Binds us together
I love you Mom
Now and forever
The flame that burns
Is my love for you
It shines for the world
And goes all the way through

Sorry it took me so long (((K)))flowerforyou
