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 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!

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

Though at the moment
we are poles apart
in my thoughts, in my actions
you are in my heart...

Each moment I think of you
though you are not near
Here come my wishes
to pray for you, my dear...

In your life ahead
may all your dreams come true
And you learn something
special and new...

May your worries
all fade away
And every happiness
embrace you each day...

May you always get
love and peace of mind
and togetherness with
the one of your kind...

May your each day ahead
end with a bliss
And what's more,
with a good night kiss...

Yet another year,
now has passed
Giving you the wisdom
little and vast...

Forty three years
have fallen behind
Next many and more
in a row are aligned...

Wishing you a Very

To count the years ahead
May the God forget !

I wrote this poem to convey my birthday wishes to a friend's son. She was really touched by the feelings expressed in the poem, and it further strengthened mutual respect in our friendship.

in Birthday Poems

Looks from your son are full of grace
He will bring smiles on each face
Your love in the future he will repay
I wish him a very happy birthday

Looks from your son are full of grace
He will bring smiles on each face
Your love in the future he will repay
I wish him a very happy birthday

Your son will shine like the sun
Life challenges for him will be fun
Words of admiration people will say
I wish him a very happy birthday

Compassion will be his strength
He will travel the world at length
No one will he ever betray
I wish him a very happy birthday

He will make your family feel proud
His words will be heard by huge crowds
Noble examples he will lay
I wish him a very happy birthday

May God give him His blessings
To handle anything pressing
All difficulties will just keep away
I wish him a very happy birthday

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, Dad
- By Tiana Jensen

My dad has been there for me through everything. I went through some tough times in my life, and my dad never gave up or lost hope. He is a great man and I love him dearly.

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

Dance among the ribbons

Smile through the lit candles
and sing to the classic happy tune.
Eat the cake of wishes,
frosted with sweet dreams of parties to come.
Blindly swing at the flying unicorn,

Spin among the music and laughter
in your perfect party dress that's brand new.
And till next year my darling,

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.

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart
- By Lyndee A Champion-Ivey
- Published by Family Friend Poems August 2008 with permission of the Author.
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

in Birthday Poems

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

You'll gather this year which travelled too fast,

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

You'll gather this year which travelled too fast,
Weed out the regrets of time reaped by the past.

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.

Happy birthday wishes from Mom and Dad to 6 year old daughter.

Happy Birthday Wishes For Daughter

in Birthday Poems

We celebrate your birthday, as you turn six today,
but we have got the gift, just the perfect gift,
that on this very special day, God gave away,
a gift of love from up above, so unique and so rare

We celebrate your birthday, as you turn six today,
but we have got the gift, just the perfect gift,
that on this very special day, God gave away,
a gift of love from up above, so unique and so rare

God has specially made you to the very tip of your nose,
as precious as a flower, as tender as a rose.
Fulfilled and blessed our lives we have and all because of you,
as sweet as honey, so innocent and pure

The twinkle of your eyes is brighter than any star,
the smiles you leave behind keep our days bright,
though our laps you have outgrown,
you will never outgrow our hearts

We watch and pray as you grow,
in love and in faith, in beauty and in grace,
you bring us joy and pure delight,
just to gaze upon your lovely face

Our hearts you keep warm and are with you wherever you may go,
and as you go on life's journey, only happiness may you find,
you are the joyful moments through our sorrow,
you are our hope and promise of our tomorrow

'cause you are our pride, our unconditional love we pledge,
'cause you are our joy, our undivided bond we cherish,
'cause you are our sunshine, our embrace is your shield through the rain,
'cause you are our little girl, our hugs and kissed will take away your pain

We asked God for a flower and He gave us a bouquet
we asked God for a minute and He gave us a day
we prayed to God for true love and He gave us that too
we prayed to God for an angel and He gave us you

May God bless you dear angel
especially on this day, that marks your birth,
for all the special ways you bring
a bit of heaven into our world

May God bless you today, tomorrow, and always
in peace in health in happiness and in love

With love,
Mum and Dad

My daughter is a dream come true.

I feel blessed to have her love and caring

Her love is such that it changed my life,

The time may be changing, but she is the same,
so loving, so caring that I have no words left to frame.
I just wish always she gets the best
and may God keep her always blessed.
I love you, my angel, you are the best.

You cheer and clap the loudest
When we do the best we can

You're always up for fun
And ready for us to laugh
Crazy games of dominoes and spoons
Are always a good time with Grandma

You make us feel special with lots of hugs and treats
Like we're the most important in the world
We think you're very sweet.

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.

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.

For as long as I remember, so loving and so kind,
so patient and so tender, you make my pains feel mild.
Your hands are always present to walk me through the way.
You spell the words I long to hear that always make my day.

"Thank you, Mum," for all you give,
"Thank you, Mum," for all your time,
"Thank you, Mum," for all your kindness,
"Thank you, Mum," for all your love that is endless.

You are to me and you will always be,
the loving mother with an open heart,
the caring friend with a lending hand,
you are my one and only latest trend.

From the bottom of my heart I send you my message with love,
only the very best that a mother like only you can claim,
for I have the best in life through you, I thank God,
for I am blessed and privileged because you are my mum!

Thank you, Mum,
best wishes, Mum,
I love you, Mum.

The love we share goes unprepared,
because it comes so naturally.
You see, the love we have is close,
it's like our own melody.

I don't know how to say it,
but believe me that it's true.
There's no sister in the world
that could ever compare to you.

So I'm wishing you a happy birthday,
one only I can say.
I say this from the heart,
have the greatest 21st birthday.

I love you Emma, happy birthday x

and always keep your head held up high.
Embrace those things close to your heart,
and yes, sometimes men do cry.

These lessons in life can not be taught,
they must be observed.
Happy birthday, Dad; you have taught me a lot,
and I love you for what I have learned.
