Christmas poems for mom

• For all of the presents
  You put under the tree,
  For all of the times
  You picked up after me...
  
  For all of the times
  That you tucked me in tight
  And we stayed up to talk
  Long into the night
  
  For all of the days
  I was feeling so down
  And the times that you turned
  To a smile my frown
  
  For the cookies you baked
  And the stockings you stuffed,
  For the cuts that you healed
  And the pillows you fluffed...
  
  For the time that you took
  Off the training wheels
  For the nights that you made me
  My favorite meals
  
  For the years throughout
  Elementary school
  For knowing the right thing
  Isn’t always what’s cool
  
  For putting up with
  Those preteen years
  For making it through
  All the laughs and the tears
  
  For all of the days
  That you loved me so much
  Even during the times
  That I made it so tough…
  
  For all of the memories
  We have already shared
  For the future for which
  We cannot be prepared
  
  For being there for that one-year-old boy
  Who sat in the house and sucked on his thumb
  For working so hard at being his mom
  And making that boy into the man I’ve become
  Look back on all that we have been through
  And look at me now mom, how far I have come
  
  For all of the times I’ll never forget
  Merry Christmas to you Mom
  Here’s to the memories
  We haven’t had yet
  
  Merry Christmas…Love, Nick
  
•  For all the nights you stayed up late
  to trim the Christmas tree,
  For all the costly presents
  That you purchased just for me...
  
  For all the times you tucked me in
  And read me stories too,
  For all the ways you cheered me up
  When I was feeling blue...
  
  For all the cookies that you baked
  And stockings that you stuffed,
  For all the messes you cleaned up
  And pillows that you fluffed...
  
  For all the days you loved me,
  Even when I made it difficult,
  For all these things,
  and much, much more...
  
  Thank you for giving me the gift of your Love
