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.

    • 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.

  4. 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.

    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.

  7. 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 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.

    • 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.

    From the day you were born I've watched you grow
    Into the nicest person one could know.

  15. Happy Birthday, Sweetheart

    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.

    • By Anuradha Dev
    • Published by Family Friend Poems February 2014 with permission of the Author.

    I am a 35-year-old woman. I have a daughter and a son. Daughter being the first one holds a very special place in my heart but as my son is growing older (he was 5 this October), I am starting appreciate small adorable things boys do that I would have missed if my son would not have come in my life. I am from India. In India a male child is given much more importance than a female child. I always hated this fact. I never wanted a male child. But after my son I have changed. This is for him. Happy birthday, Adi!
