BIRTHDAY POEMS
Instead of counting candles, Or tallying the years, Contemplate your blessings now, As your birthday nears. Consider special people Who love you, and who care, And others who’ve enriched your life Just by being there. Think about the memories Passing years can never mar, Experiences great and small That have made you who you are. Another year is a happy gift, So cut your cake, and say, "Instead of counting birthdays, I count blessings every day!"
God gave a gift to the world when you were born— a person who loves, who cares, who sees a person’s need and fills it, who encourages and lifts people up, who spends energy on others rather than herself, someone who touches each life she enters, and makes a difference in the world, because ripples of kindness flow outward as each person you have touched, touches others. Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday, because you are a special treasure for all that you’ve done. May the love you have shown to others return to you, multiplied. I wish you the happiest of birthdays, and many, many more, so that others have time to appreciate you as much as I do.
Once a year I get the chance To wish you birthday cheer. It pleases me no end to say, I wish you another great year. So happy birthday to you (name), From the bottom of my heart. And may your good times multiply, Till they’re flying off the chart!
On your birthday, I’m thinking about how much light and sparkle you freely dispense wherever you go, how your sunny smile lights up any gathering. Every birthday marks another year of you radiating positive, happy energy, contagious happiness that infects all who come in contact with you. May your next birthday find you the same-- glowing from within, beaming bright joy on everyone you meet. I feel blessed to know you.
Your birthday's a time for careful reflection About your life, and its future direction. You see where you've been when you look at the past; Most of it's great; you had quite a blast! You wonder what's coming, what life has in store; Will it be just the same? Will there be a new door? Remember this, as you blow out the last candle: Life holds no challenge that you cannot handle.
