Mother's Day Songs and Tributes

Mother's Day songs and tributes have changed -- no doubt about it. You need look no further than the selections on this page to know that we have come a long way from the traditional Mother Song to YouTube salutes.
Baby Boomers may recall singing this tribute to mother when they were in grammar school.

The Mother Song
M is for the many things she gave me
O is only that she’s growing old.
T is for her tender, sweet caresses.
H is for a heart as pure as gold.
E is for her eyes with love light shining,
R is for right, and right she’ll always be.

Put them all together, they spell
Mother... a word that means the world to me.

Modern mothers might find that ditty a bit old-fashioned for their tastes. Fast-forward to the 21st Century and you have a biologist thanking his mother for her DNA.

Then you have the Shaytards -- a dad and three kids with a fourth on the way -- telling mom how much they love her while on a road trip.

Next we have a spoof on a mom who is enjoying the company of her children on Mother's Day weekend. Enjoy.

If you want a more conventional way to remember Mom on Mother's Day, check out our Mommisms or Tributes to Mother .

If you are looking for something special to say about Dad, we have some great quotes about fathers.
