Birthday Poems For Family

Published: May 2019

A Birthday Celebration is a life affirming event. Celebrating a birthday is making a statement that your life is significant and meaningful. You are saying, my life is worth living and therefore I am celebrating that I am alive for another year. It is a time to get together with friends and family and celebrate the life that you are living.

Birthdays may also be a time of melancholy reflection if we are not happy with our current station in life. For this reason it is good to have family and friends close to you to let you know how special you are.

Happy Birthday, Daughter
- By Alora M. Knight
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.
My daughter, Marsha, was born on Friday the 13th and my son on Mother's day. It should have been changed around. Although there were the teenage tangles, I have had a wonderful relationship with my daughter. She was my strength through my divorce, and I was there for her when her marriage dissolved. She's given me one grandson and 4 beautiful grandchildren. Now I'm 98 and she is the one helping me, sharing the good things in life.

The Joy A Daughter Brings Her Mother

in Birthday Poems

Many are the joys in life.
I'm blessed with quite a few.
Still, most of all I'm grateful
To have a daughter just like you.

Many are the joys in life.
I'm blessed with quite a few.
Still, most of all I'm grateful
To have a daughter just like you.

I remember well when you were born,
The joy that filled my heart.
When I first held you in my arms,
I loved you from the start.

It was always such a pleasure
To see your precious life unfold.
Learning new things every day
Brought happiness untold.

The child in you, I still can see.
A glimmer here and there.
The smile when you anticipate,
A tugging at your hair.

Though no one knows the future,
What each one has in store,
I know whatever happens
I couldn't love you more.

So on this special day of yours,
Know the love that's there for you.
Not just today, but every day,
Will last a lifetime through.

Happy Birthday Wishes For Sister

in Birthday Poems

Sister, you are a guardian angel in disguise.
You are perceptive, intelligent, and wise,
Always helping me through good and bad.
You are also the greatest friend I've ever had.

Sister, you are a guardian angel in disguise.
You are perceptive, intelligent, and wise,
Always helping me through good and bad.
You are also the greatest friend I've ever had.
If I could have one wish, it would be
To give you all that you have given to me.
Though I've put our relationship through some hazy days,
You've been the sunlight that has shone in so many ways.
Through my ups and downs, right by me you stood,
And you gave me your hand whenever you could.
Though I am sure my mistakes will not end here,
You're always there to keep me away from my fears.
I don't doubt some of your headaches are from me.
With all the times you lecture and tease,
I stand there upset and displeased.
Though I tell you I can't stand you,
You come back with, "That's not true."
We've had our fights,
Which lead to sleepless nights,
But in the end, I thank you so much.
My appreciation for you has no end.
You will always be my sister and my friend.

Happy Birthday, Sister!

Each moment I think of you

And you learn something

And every happiness

May your each day ahead

And what's more,

Giving you the wisdom

Next many and more
in a row are aligned...

Wishing you a Very

To count the years ahead
May the God forget !

Even with the ups and downs,
The happiness and hardship,
Through challenges and success,
We maintained our friendship.

And with each passing day,
I understand and realize
Some things are meant to be
When I look in your eyes.

And this is my wish not just for your birthday.
May God bless you in every step of the way.

Don't Forget
- By Vicki Fearnley
- Published by Family Friend Poems July 2016 with permission of the Author.
This is a poem about stopping and remembering the sacrifice your mother has made for you. Yes, you may not always see eye to eye, and your mother may one day break your heart, but she gave up more than you could ever imagine. No matter what, you must always remember that she loves you and did what she thought was best.

Thanking Mom On Her Birthday

in Birthday Poems

Your birthday is the day I remember
all the wonderful things you do.
Time will fly; each day goes by,
and I've forgotten to say, "Thank you."

Your birthday is the day I remember
all the wonderful things you do.
Time will fly; each day goes by,
and I've forgotten to say, "Thank you."

Thank you for teaching me strength,
to have confidence while I grow,
for helping me through my biggest challenges,
and for teaching me what I know.

Although our paths may be distant,
and we spend so much time apart,
remember you are the one
who made the essence of my heart.

I will love you until my last breath,
this I know for sure,
as you are the first love I ever had,
and so I will love you forevermore.

On Your 16th Birthday
- By Sandra Jeffers
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2011 with permission of the Author.
As my son reaches the milestone of 16 years I needed a way to tell him what he means to me. Sometimes the communication is hard in the teen years. I wanted to give him something from the heart.

Mother To Son Birthday Wishes

in Birthday Poems

Sixteen years ago today
They placed you in my arms
I became a mother
Bewitched by all your charms

Sixteen years ago today
They placed you in my arms
I became a mother
Bewitched by all your charms

You learned to walk, to read
Each day brought something new
No more my little boy
You hurt, I cried, you grew

Sometimes you didn't need me
Didn't want to hold my hand
Your independence made you proud
But me a little sad

I blinked my eyes, I turned around
You're almost grown, I see
Why did it go so fast?
A few more moments please

In your struggle to be free
Sometimes we don't get along
But I'm always on your side
I'll always be your mom

You can't stop time, can't hold it back
Can't stop the ocean's tide
The good person that you are
Fills my heart with pride

In my eyes there is no one like you
Can't wait to see what you'll become
My pride and joy, I love you
Happy birthday to my son

Happy Birthday, Super Star Sister
- By Beryl L Edmonds

This birthday greeting poem is for the youngest of our family of five sisters. In spite of having her ups and downs (as we all do), she has been a joy from day one, always happy and never has a bad word for anyone. The poem is written in lines of ten syllables, with four rhyming quatrain stanzas, and ending with a rhyming couplet.

Birthday Greetings For My Sister

in Birthday Poems

From the day you were born I've watched you grow
Into the nicest person one could know.
Love changes everything, words oh so true.
My world changed the moment I first held you.

From the day you were born I've watched you grow
Into the nicest person one could know.
Love changes everything, words oh so true.
My world changed the moment I first held you.

A baby sister who captured my heart,
Nothing and no one could tear us apart.
That goes for all those who love you to bits,
Especially your children and grandkids.

So bouncy and lively, zesty and bright,
That's the way you go on sailing through life.
You light up a room, soon as you appear.
A gift to the world, so precious and dear.

May this special day and all days after
Be filled with abundant love and laughter.
Every moment a moment to treasure
For a sister who brings so much pleasure.

Never change from the woman that you are.
To us sisters, you are a "Super Star."

Inspirational Birthday Wishes

in Birthday Poems

Each year our birthday forces us to grow
Into the person whom we have yet to know
With circumstances that hopefully have made us wise
When we learn from our multitude of mistakes and tries.

Each year our birthday forces us to grow
Into the person whom we have yet to know
With circumstances that hopefully have made us wise
When we learn from our multitude of mistakes and tries.

To take a long look at these years gone past
To really reflect on how time travels fast
To know that every day that each of us lives
Is a great gift from God that He lovingly gives.

So as you celebrate another passing year again
On this day that marks the beginning of the moment when
You entered this world for a purposeful plan
Just remember your worth doesn't come from man.

Your worth comes from our Creator who made you unique
Who gave you knowledge and words to speak
Who doesn't care about a past success or failure
But only cares about your heart that His presence makes pure.

False paths, lost dreams, wrong choices, it's true
Fills your past as well as everyone else's, too.
There may be those lost memories that hinder your day,
But with God in your mind the regrets soon melt away.

Cherish this day and who you're growing to be,
This special person that all of us already see.
Embrace this coming year and live each day anew
By becoming the excellent one God created in you.

Poem Appreciating Father

in Birthday Poems

When I was born
I didn't know much
I was introduced to this world
By your kind words and soft touch

When I was born
I didn't know much
I was introduced to this world
By your kind words and soft touch

Years passed so quickly
And we were already alike
You were my guide and instructor
When learning to ride a bike

Off to kindergarten
And a tear in your eye
You've always been sensitive
When it comes to goodbyes

It's because of the love
That you hold in your heart
You want me to experience life
But don't like to be apart

So off I went
Adventuring alone
Learning new things
Experiencing life on my own

Hasn't always been easy
That I am aware
But one thing's for sure
You are always there

You've helped me see
The woman I can become
You've always had faith in me
Even when I had none

It's that unconditional love
That helped me get through
I wish all little girls' daddies
Could be as great as you

If all girls had guidance
And a dad's shoulder to cry
They'd grow up with confidence
And a willingness to try

So I guess what I'm saying
Is thank you, Dad
I'm not sure words can express
The impact you've had

You are my hero
And an inspiration to all
Happy Birthday, Dad
Or Papa Dukes as I call

A cake with a lit candle,
Presents with ribbons and bows,
A bike with pink, glittery handles,
A little girl who grows and grows.

What will you wish for, my love,
On this, your very special day?
Send your wish to God above.
It will come true if you pray.

As you blow out the candle, my dear,
I'll make a wish for you too.
I'll whisper it so you won't hear,
That way I know it will come true.

My wish for you is like sunshine,
Warm, cheery, and full of delight,
My wish is the starlight, soothing and fine,
Which lights up the dark, dreary night.

May God follow you always,
May the path always be clear,
And may you have a happy birthday
This day and all through the years.

Today Our Twins Turn One!
- By Jamie Anderson
- Published by Family Friend Poems October 2011 with permission of the Author.
I'm a wife and a mother of three. Nearly a year and a half ago we got the surprise of our lives--I was expecting twins! We were scared at first and struggled to make sense of what having twins would mean for our family. We'd just moved to a new state, we had no family nearby and our son loved being an only child. This poem reflects on the past year as we've adjusted to our growing family, and it celebrates how much we love and cherish our newest additions.

Celebrating Birthday Of Twins

in Twin Poems

"It's twins!" the tech told me, giving me quite a fright.
"Are you sure?!?" I had asked, wondering if I'd heard right.
But sure enough, there you were, up there on the screen
And I tried to make sense of what it all would mean.

"It's twins!" the tech told me, giving me quite a fright.
"Are you sure?!?" I had asked, wondering if I'd heard right.
But sure enough, there you were, up there on the screen
And I tried to make sense of what it all would mean.

Double the feedings, double the tears,
Double the changings and double the fears.
Just how would I nurse you both at the same time?
And how would I choose who to hold if you're both crying?

How much would you cost this already strapped family?
Diapers, food, college... just the idea was overwhelming.
And how would I care for my other dear son,
When I've only two arms with which to hold everyone?

The future seemed scary or daunting at least.
My mind raced with questions, my heart skipped some beats.
But then I remembered that you were both formed in love
That you were two miracles, gifts sent from above.

How could I be worried, what gave me the right?
We would figure it out, what seemed dark would become light.
And soon enough the time came, after nine very long months
Two bundles of joy were delivered to us at once.

We counted your fingers, we counted your toes,
They totaled twenty on top and twenty below.
You were both the most perfect little angels we'd seen.
And we couldn't believe just how lucky we'd been.

Now a year has flown by, where does the time go?
It seems like just yesterday we were bringing you home!
You couldn't be more different even though you are twins.
Though you both love to laugh and discover new things.

You're both funny and sweet, you are happy and smiley.
And we all feel so lucky that you're part of our family.
Some might say "double trouble" but we say "double fun!"
As we celebrate today, our two babies turn ONE!

Happy Birthday to my sweetest little angels.

Noble examples he will lay

To handle anything pressing
All difficulties will just keep away

Happy Birthday To The Queen Of Our Hearts
- By Fran Peck
- Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.
My mother raised 5 of us kids almost on her own. Our father was an alcoholic and she struggled to raise us. We didn't realize what a difficult time she had until we were older and had children of our own. I wrote this on her 80th birthday to honor her dedication to us.

Our Mother's 80th Birthday

in Birthday Poems

Poems are written every day for moms across the earth.
Stories, songs, and ballads, all trying to tell her worth,

How every day she battled, the odds against her stacked,

Poems are written every day for moms across the earth.
Stories, songs, and ballads, all trying to tell her worth,

How every day she battled, the odds against her stacked,
Never giving up on us and never looking back.

There was no time for wishing or waiting for a dream.
Faces to wash, meals to cook, clothes that needed cleaned.

She never feels that she's been cheated of a life to call her own.
Smiles that come from beneath her feet is where her heart is drawn.

Sometimes we saw a worried look or heard a desperate prayer,
But she never burdened her little ones with even a hint of care.

Our table was full, our beds were warm, clothes upon our back.
We always had just what we needed; we never knew a lack.

The outside world might raise a brow and doubt that we'd survive,
But mom was sure of her love for us, and that love kept us alive.

She could've chosen a different path, the road to please herself.
Instead she took the high road, and her kids became her wealth.

Investing in us every day, she seemed so brave and strong,
But only God knew the tears she cried when she was all alone.

He heard her every prayer and watched as time went by.
He traded her ashes for beauty and lifted her head up high.

It's no wonder that we love her so unlike any other.
Happy Birthday to the queen of our hearts, our dear, precious Mother.

The Tongue-Tied Lover

This poem is the tale of a tongue-tied lover who cannot find the words he seeks to convey his love to the object of his affection, until Cupid intervenes...

Happy Birthday Card For Her

in Birthday Poems

I ask the heav'nly stars above
how I might send thee words of love -
for my impov'rished words won't do
when sending words of love to you.

I ask the heav'nly stars above
how I might send thee words of love -
for my impov'rished words won't do
when sending words of love to you.

A birthday shortly comes your way,
and I'm in complete disarray
whilst seeking clever words to say
on what will be your special day.

Hark! Cupid counsels - "Do not fret,
I'll make a poet of you yet,
and whilst you'll never be a bard,
go buy your love a birthday card."

"Pen words directly from your heart
writ with Cupid's finest dart -
there's one more thing that you must do -
ensure your words of love are true."

Now, I took Cupid at his word.
To my delight, my words were heard
I never penned a poem more fair
these words of love I wrote for her.

That special birthday's come and gone.
Soon you and I will be as one.
One final vow I make in rhyme.
I'll cherish thee till the end of time.

Birthday Poem Wishes From Deceased Dad To Young Boy

Though you cannot see me,

Singing happy birthday
Softly in your ear.

Though you cannot see me,
Just know that I am near,
Singing happy birthday
Softly in your ear.

I am always with you.
I'm never far away.
I would never miss the chance
To celebrate your 19th birthday.

Fourteen birthdays have passed
Since the day I died,
But for each one
I've been right by your side.

I've helped you blow out candles
And heard the wishes that you make.
I've seen you open up each gift
And watched you eat your birthday cake.

I've watched you grow into a man
As the years have passed by, son.
And I am so proud of you
For all that you have done.

You deserve the very best.
May all your dreams come true.
I'm leaving my eternal love
As my birthday gift to you.

Happy birthday, Son

My husband and I are apart because he's in Iraq with the military. Like many couples we find that supporting each other emotionally, spiritually, and daily through life is sometimes challenging when we live under the same roof; and always challenging when we're thousands of miles apart. We both need different types of support now. With prayers and my wish for him in this poem I send him strength and love.

Long Distance Birthday Poem For Husband

It's that one special day created with you,
When wishes rain in for the year coming new.

When wishes rain in for the year coming new.

Harvest the days God planted with blessings,
Your health, your family, and valuable life-lessons.

Although we're apart on your day of the year,
With faith and God's love our hearts bloom without fear.

This wish I have picked for my heart's only love;
A garden of happiness and tending from above.
