May need some tweaking:
A MOTHER'S THANK YOU
Genie Graveline
For all your patience...day to day,......
For every tear you wipe away,......
For "little hands" you gently hold,......
And all the stories you have told,......
For your consoling, tender heart,......
And all the wisdom you impart,......
For silly songs & quiet times,......
For peaceful naps & nursery rhymes,......
For teaching children how to share,......
For being kind & being fair,......
For every shoe that you have tied,......
And thoughtful words that instill pride,......
For all the sweet things that you do,......
To help the children all year through,......
For being there in place of me.........
I'm grateful...and I'll always be!......

I did this once for someone very, very special and started

'Remember me for my smile.....' The rest can easily.

You might consider writing one yourself?

It can be surprising how the words just flow when you have something to say and it would be an really personal tribute. It doesn't have to rhyme either.

You might find something lighthearted by Spike Milligan but off the top of my head I can only think of 'Sit up Straight Said Mum to Mabel'.

Yes - that was the only thing that I could think of hilda - I will put that on the list. Thanks.

Perhaps a bit long, but what about one of Joyce Grendel's Nursery School monologues?

........for a lady who used to work in a playgroup. We are trying to find a poem about children and the ups and downs of caring for them. Any ideas out there? It can be lighthearted.
