How to Write a Tribute for Mother’s Day

There are many ways to celebrate Mother’s Day.  Many opt to follow the traditional route of buying flowers, taking Mom out to dinner at a fancy restaurant, or buying a card.  Others decide to be more creative by taking their mom on a picnic or another personal activity that she might enjoy. 

 

Whether your Mother’s Day plans are traditional or not, writing a tribute to your mother is something you should consider for a more unusual and meaningful gift to your mother.


Dig Deep

 

Tributes can be as creative as you would like them to be.  A simple message of how much you appreciate and love your mother, presented in a homemade card, can make a wonderful and touching gift.  It’s important to be honest and thoughtful with your words.  Communicate deeper feelings than the typical, “I love you”  or “Thanks for putting up with me.”


Try Poetry

 

Trying your hand at poetry can create a meaningful way to express your gratitude towards your mother.  If you need assistance, there are online poetry generators which can guide you along in the process of writing a poem.  You might also consider finding a poem that has already been written by a famous poet. 

 

While you should include the author’s name at the end of the poem, as long as they have stated how you feel about your mom or have written something beautiful that your mom would appreciate, such a tribute can also be a loving gesture that she will cherish.  Visit your local library for inspiration.

 

Write a Story

 

Consider writing a story about a particular memory you have associated with mother.  The memory can be a funny or touching one that demonstrates the love that you and your mother share.  Rest assured as you get older she will pull it out again and again to read.

 

Make a Scrapbook

 

On that note, another great gift would be to put together a scrapbook with pictures, memory pieces such as concert tickets or baby mementos, and small tributes that you’ve asked family and friends to write about your mother.  There are online services that provide scrapbook or photo album templates so that your final product will be something your mother will always cherish.

As long as there is thought and meaning put into your Mother’s Day gift, you’ll be sure to succeed in making it a memorable holiday.
