    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.

  4. Balloons In Heaven

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

    My best friend lost her 3-year-old son, Jayden, to Meningitis in 2012, just 2 weeks before Christmas. We got him to the hospital, but he later died. Jayden was a big part of my life, and watching him pass away was extremely heartbreaking. Writing this poem for Jayden's birthday has enabled me to express what he means to us all.

    in In Memory Poems

    Your birthday is here again,
    but in heaven you will be.
    We will celebrate your special day
    visiting you and your memorial tree.

    My dad passed away last year, but I still wanted to acknowledge his birthday. We will forever miss his presence on this earth, but we also know someday we will celebrate together for eternity.

    in Spiritual Poems about Death

    No presents bought, no candles blown; this year you walk on streets of gold,
    And it's so much more than the stories you've been told.

    The sun is shining on your face,

    • By Georgina Devlin
    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.

    My poem is one that celebrates a milestone birthday of a very dear friend who does not like to draw attention to himself nor does he like surprises. However, once in the midst of friends and family, he accepted birthday wishes and enjoyed the personal attention.

    in Birthday Poems

    Birthdays come and birthdays go,
    And some mean more than most,
    But you, my friend, dread all of them
    And never wish to boast.

  9. Missed Birthday

    • By John P. Read
    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.

    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.
    But birthdays are only here one day,
    And I love you the whole year through.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.
