Birthday Poetry Contest Semi-Finalists - Page 2

Dear friend, I want to wish you a splendid happy birthday.
We don't see each other anymore, but I hope everything is okay.
You're growing to become the intelligent woman I know you can be.
I'm so fortunate to have a friend like you who's gentle, loving, and sweet.

Today should be a day of pure happiness and love for you,
Enjoying and gathering with those who remain devoted and true.
I wish you the best in life, though we both know how hard it can be,
But I pray that God will open your doors to brighter opportunities.

You are the kind of person who always offers a helping hand.
We are miles away from each other, but the love we share will never end.
Never seeing you again will always be a difficult test,
But our everlasting friendship is what I will never forget.

I won't forget about all the things you've brought to my years:
Long-lasting laughter and contenting cheers.
I never knew that all of these blessings could all come true,
But my life has been better, and it's all because of you.

Wherever you are right now, I pray that you are happy and safe.
I don't know your status, but I hope things are going your way.
I know for a fact that God will strengthen you and help you to be stronger.
I pray, my friend, that no weapon formed against you will prosper.

Thank you so much for your kindness, loyalty, and forgiveness.
You've promised me many times that I'll never travel life without a witness.
So happy blessed birthday, my friend; thanks for being there for me.
I miss you deeply, but you're always in my memories.

If I could have one wish in life,
That wish would have to be
That God would take away my pain
And send you back to me.

Your birthday's here today, my son,
And I just wanted you to know
How much I deeply love you
And that I miss you so.

On days like this we should celebrate,
But for me that now proves hard,
For unlike other mothers, I cannot send
A simple birthday card.

No kisses can I give you
Or birthday gifts to buy.
Only flowers I now can give you,
Which I place down where you lie.

Two other things I send you
Are my thoughts and all my love,
So hold them close and keep them safe
In Heaven up above.

And please wait for me, my darling
Until my days are through,
And then I'll come and spend all time
In Heaven just with you.

You walk beside me every day.
You're here in all I do and say.
At night I close my eyes and pray
To someone who took you away.

My thoughts are all in disarray.
My tears are public, on display.
I wish that you were here today,
That you could take my pain away.

Why do I play this game I play?
Pretend to all that I'm okay?
This will sound selfish, some will say,
But I wish you hadn't gone away.

I don't go out, got feet of clay.
I know you're here so want to stay.
I wish I could relive that day.
I would have washed your pain away.

Memories like a DVD play,
Memories of that awful day.
So much that I wanted to say
That day someone took you away.

My thoughts don't move; they never may,
Won't even meet me half the way,
So till we meet on God's highway,
I'll sit and dream my life away.

I send my love to heaven today,
Not just because it's your birthday.
I'll send you love every day
Until my life has passed away.

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.

Birthday cards are only pieces of paper,
Verses written by someone we never knew.
How could they ever truly explain
All the feelings I have for you?

So I've bought a card without any verse
As I wanted to write one of my own
To let you know what you really mean to me
And not words from someone unknown.

Yes, birthday cards are just pieces of paper
That we read then just put away,
But my love for you is forever,
And forever means now and always.

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."
