Happy Birthday Poems For Family - Touching Birthday Poems

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.

  2. 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.

    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.

  4. To My Little Brother

    • By Michaela Hart
    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.

    This is a little poem written for my little brother. He is a sweet little thing and loves to have fun. It is really cute to see him standing up for me, his big sister, against people twice his size and age. It is fun to listen to him talk incessantly about the books he reads. Then there are the nice moments where he snuggles up with me. Mostly, it is fun to watch him grow and mature.

    in Birthday Poems

    A year has passed away,
    Never to be back.
    I hope this little greeting
    Suffices as a plaque.

  8. Happy Birthday, Son

    • By Anitha Devi Pillai
    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.

    I wrote this for my son on his birthday. He was only eight then, and I don't know if he understood the depth of my poem. But he reached out to hug me and said, "Nice." I forgot about the poem after that. He turned 15 last year, and when we were talking about birthday gifts one day, he shared that his most memorable birthday gift was the poem I had written for him when he was little. Thankfully I was able to find the card that I had given him. I hope the soul of my poem resonates with you.

    in Birthday Poems

    From the moment I looked into your eyes,
    I knew that I was never going to be the same again.
    You held my gaze, not once looking away
    as you reached out to grip my finger.

    I once missed my cousin Julie's birthday. It wasn't until the last minute I remembered, but the only card I had didn't have a verse, so I had to write my own. She loved it.

    in Birthday Poems

    I'm so sorry I missed your birthday.
    A special day, I know it's true.

  14. Happy Birthday, Super Star Sister

    • By Beryl L Edmonds
    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.

    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.

    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.

  15. 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.

    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."

    I wrote this for my sister's 21st birthday. She is my best friend, and I can tell her anything. She won't judge me, but she isn't afraid to tell me when I am in the wrong. She helped my mum to bring me up, and I love her very much. I do tease her a lot, but I know she loves me anyway. She is at university and works part time but still finds time to be there for me. I love her to bits.
