This Mothers’ Day poem is dedicated to all the mothers who are putting their lives and families on hold to tend to the sick and the needy. This poem demonstrates the surety that you are missed but the love from your children awaits your return and you can “be together like Yesterday.” You are the heroes of our world and your children are telling you it’s “early today” and the rest of the day will be yours together.

Heaven is with you mommy come and play.
Daddy loves me so much but I need you.
Now is our time it’s still early today.

I need your smile mommy come home to stay.
My hands and face are clean my heart is new.
Heaven is with you mommy come and play.

I know you can do it and find a way
to see me here in playlight’s golden hue.
Now is our time it’s still early today.

We can be together like Yesterday.
Hours of daylight are a precious few.
Heaven is with you mommy come and play.

Please rush home to me mommy don’t delay.
You are my first love and one that is true.
Now is our time it’s still early today.

You’re always my hero hug me I pray.
Oh turn my tears to joy away from blue.
Heaven is with you mommy come and play.
Now is our time it’s still early today.
