No, Mother's Day isn't exclusively for mothers. It's a day to honor all maternal figures who've played vital roles in nurturing and supporting others. Gifts like personalized items, experiences, or heartfelt gestures can express gratitude to these special women

Mommy
Mommy you are sweet
Mommy you are nice
Don't ever leave me
Cause you make the best rice!!!!
I've Known You
I've known you since my day of birth,
(perhaps a few months more).
There's lots of nice things I could tell,
(but I refuse to bore).
You're smart. You're great. You're all the best.
(There's much more I could say.)
But I can only think of one. . . It's Happy Mother's Day!
One touching Mother's Day poem for a grandmother could be: "Grandma, your love is a guiding light, shining bright in my darkest night. Your wisdom and warmth, a comforting embrace, forever cherished in my heart's grace."
"Mother, the Sweetest Word of All" is a popular declamation piece for Mother's Day. It expresses the love and appreciation for all that mothers do and captures the essence of a mother's unconditional love and sacrifices. It is a heartfelt tribute to the most special woman in our lives.
Mothers are God's representatives on this Earth. There have been countless good mothers' poems written in this world as all poets are their mothers' sons or daughters. Here's one, from the ancient land of Persia which never shall let go unnoticed.
During the transition period in Persian literature from classical style to the modern, Iraj wrote this song and it was translated into English by Arthur John Arberry, Professor of Persian in the University of London and Professor of Arabic at Cambridge.
Mother
They say, when first my mother bore me
She taught me how to rest
My lips against her breast;
Wakeful at night, and leaning o'er me
Cradled in slumber deep,
She taught me how to sleep.
She kissed my mouth to happy laughter,
And in that magic hour
She taught my rose to flower.
One letter, and two letters after,
She taught me week by week,
Until my tongue could speak.
She took my hand in hers, and leading
Me on, with loving talk
She taught me how to walk.
While I have life, be this my pleading:
Since she my being bore,
I'll love her evermore.
It depend which country you are referring to.
