Best Mother's Day quotes and poems to thank mum on her special day

With Mother's Day coming up tomorrow, you may be thinking of the best way to thank your mum for everything she does and tell her how special she is.

A recent survey by Next found that on average mums remember 10 things a day for their children - on top of their own busy schedule.

Other findings included that 78% of mums get less than an hour a day to themselves and spend an average of 112 days of their kids' childhoods watching them take part in sports and hobbies.

So tomorrow is the chance to give back and say thank you to the special woman in your life.

While fancy gifts and big bunches of flowers definitely have a wow factor, sometimes a simple but touching message can be just as nice.

We've gathered a collection of some fitting mother's day quotes for you to pass on to your mum this Mother's Day.
