Best Birthday Wishes Poems
Without Loving Memories Life Is Devoid
So your pretty face turned forty today
My how sweet time races far away
Give yourself a gift of love this way
and write in poetic verse and play!
Look back at the life you have enjoyed
The burning candles that lit your way
Without loving memories life is devoid
Have a blessed birthday I pray!

Without Loving Memories Life Is Devoid
So your pretty face turned forty today
My how sweet time races far away
Give yourself a gift of love this way
and write in poetic verse and play!
Look back at the life you have enjoyed
The burning candles that lit your way
Without loving memories life is devoid
Have a blessed birthday I pray!
Good sir, for being close to me in age,
you know that we cannot forever be
age 40, but if we write poetry,
the chance is better we can live stress-free!
Let's play with words, with rhythm and with rhyme.
Life's candles that we lit have left a glow.
Our memories in poems live on through time,
and we might both be 90 for all they know!

FOR ANDREA (belated birthday wishes)
late
old friend
not so old
just fifty-five
fifty-five is young
and you so young at heart
i send this belated post
know your kindest heart will forgive
now go have a good laugh a good cry
may each day one at a time be happy
I made a scrumptious chocolate birthday cake just for you
My only wish, I could deliver it, across the pond to you!
For two years straight, you stood behind me daily.
A trophy, you do deserve, not one day, but three
hundred sixty five, times two, for contacting by
comment or soup mail, you never failed me!
Such a unique poet you are, and endearing, indeed,
to so many.
Love, peppered with humility and peace, are on
your agenda daily.
Tom, you've gone way out of your way,
When I felt abysmally, horribly dismayed!
You are wise, like a philosopher, to recognize the real
poets here, from the phony.
And run from those, who post pure, arrogant baloney.
I wish you health and happiness for so many years.
Wish we could all go to a pub, raise a pint and wish
you happiness, with loving, poetic cheers!
Hugs from the USA,
Panagiota

Few words with large meanings that meant so much
Birthday blessings from above quoted by all I love
Friends and families far away
Gathered on this very day to wish me all the best on my birthday
Words cannot repay these kind gestures and warm thoughts
Each birthday verse filled with love and sealed with a kiss
Contained in a package tied with a string
Forty three birthday wishes
Forty three birthday blessings
Forty three treasures wrapped with a smile, covered with joy sent with peace
To all I love, thank you for the cards
Thank you for the thought
But most of all thank you for just being you.
2day once more was fun day, because the sun was there:
Of course! Like all the sundays, as usually they were...
if only you were there 4 me, and not 4 all together!
The sun has gone, and in the mood, it's moon day that begins
and all around the ticking sounds that I hear all around me,
there's suddenly my Blackberry: a ringtone's sent to me.
As yesterday was 'gain your birthday, told the ringtone sent to me,
As usual, I'm sending you 4 tunes to comfort me;
because I know that once again, as for many a birthday
you surely still are thinking of the things that run the same way:
There is The Sun, there is The Belle and Moon day !s their frenemy's day;
and I am used to sail away for it's too hard to see
that your stubborness clings to him and it won't let us be...
Goodbye, my love; I hope next year you'll come4tunes to comfort me.
Your whole life lies in front of you to do with what you may.
There are dreams to dream, and days you’ll scream, and times you’ll need to
pray.
Never be afraid to go after what you want no matter how hard it seems.
The only way we can fail in this life is when we give up on our dreams.
Always remember to be true to yourself, don’t pretend to be something else, be
who you really are.
Don’t let this cruel world change you inside, keep hope in your soul, and trust in
yourself and you will always go far.
Just remember now and forever I will always be here.
Ready to teach and ready to learn and ready to hold you near.
Hold on to my hand, hug my heart, and know that you’re safe with me.
After all you’re still my little girl and I hope you will always be.
Happy birthday
I wish you a happy birthday
May you live to be
Seven hundred and seventy
May you never see poverty
May you live to enjoy prosperity
May you live to see
Your heart desire
May your establishment exist forever
Like an ever burning fire
May you live peaceful
And your life will be beautiful
Like a heavenly flower
May your day be clad in bright chitenge (colorful flowing garments)
and your ears filled with the music of falling waters!
Lwa mitonda , kaizeli! (We miss you, sister!)
See us run with arms outstretched
like the wings of an airplane
because, if we could, we would fly to you;
see our encircling, turning legs
like those of sprinting cyclists
because, if we could, we would pedal to you;
see us hop, in a sitting posture
like that of a crazy taxi driver
because, if we could, we would race to you.
But we would rather have you here with us
Africa ya kutonda, kaizeli! ( Africa misses you, sister!)
Ku tezi batu - we are waiting for you ( We watch the horizon)
Utwa, ba andamisa - come dance with us. (And the drums are beating)
While distance separates you from us
we talk about you, smile, and say:
Mutu yo munde ki ya na ni sikoka kwa batu; (she will make many friends)
and we want you to remember always:
Ku sebeleza Mulimu, ki makalelo a butali. (it is more blessed to give than to receive)
Be blessed, dear sister!
We wish you peace, we wish you joy
and above all, we wish you love.
YOU ARE A STAR, SHINING AND TWINKLING IN OUR LIVES.
YOUR BIRTH AND PRESENCE IS OUR DELIGHT.
NO GIFT CAN EVER EXPRESS THE VALUE YOU HOLD IN OUR LIVES.
OUR PRAYERS AND WISHES WOULD SURELY CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR SUCCESS AND RISE.

It’s a day I was born
The 29th of August.
Don’t get me wrong I’m thankful
Truthfully
Its also a day that I forgotten. A little older, I’m still smiling.
No reason in particular I just would like to be thankful. God bless me once again to see this day.
Its ok I don’t need a birthday cake or ice cream with smiley faces.
No surprise party,
I was already reminded of the day and celebrating
I’m healthy, standing, walking with pride.
No need to make wishes for dreams of my life
I am Alive
No need to scream Happy Birthday I heard you the first time with whispers and politely, I thank you.
So no birthday wishes for me I’m just thankful.
In a blink of an eye you were took away
they say time`s a healer,i think not
you`re still in many thoughts every day
still in our hearts, never forgot.
For the character you were,everyone loved
i know you`ll be looking over all with care
whilst amongst friends and family who is above
thirteen years in the heavens, you have been there.
I can safely say,and this goes for most
we all miss your charm care and cheek
all that knew you,can some way boast
they had the pleasure knowing you,left at your peak.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE X
RESTING PECEFULLY, LEE R KING 9/3/67-27-1-2000.
Thank You From The Bottom of My Hart
I just wanted to thank you
i just wanted to say
it gave me a nice warm feeling
in so many ways
seeing your kind and thoughtful wishes
to better my fifty birthday birthday
it made smile
it made think
that you
stopping by
made this a better birthday
thank you again
for your kinds
and wonderful birthday wishes...
Everyday is your birthday
and a holiday,
your life and time... worth
more than a day,
each moment marks the
birth of great memories,
of a great mother
unlocking matchless
legacies.
Happy birthday to a star
that shines all day,
Special wishes of love on
this precious day!
For me, you mean more
than I can say.
You are a key that opens
paradise'... way.
For you, this birthday
ought to be a sparkling sun
Overriding all the other
shining stars.
For me, your birthday is
another occasion
to show you God's love
with purest passion!
I wished to present you a
lot of flowers, but none of
them is as beautiful, as
your heart.
I wanted to paint your
portrait with a super star,
but it can't be compared to
your awesome art,
Soar to the skies, snug the
moonlight,
blow beautiful balloons,
give them flight.
Hold unto your allure and
God's golden grains,
on this happy day, count
your great gain.
Happy Birthday great
friend, mother and mentor
Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen.
With love

Would time resolve everything
If mine stopped
A silver lining holds me together
Little push and I may leap
Would happiness surround me
If my smile fades forever
A patient prays on his deathbed
Let me live he weeps
Another cries from her warm bed
Take me to the skies
Before the sun rises
I wish to be gone
Birthday Wishes: Horatian Ode
Sweet sixteen with no happy birthday cake.
Oh, Mother, you're missed but I am bitter.
How many hundreds did your calloused hands make?
So steady, so sure, why do they quiver?
A Mother who has no thought for herself,
A daughter too immature to think to help.
A lovely, womanly form, but only Momma to me..
Oh Momma, she has your eyes so you can watch over me.
Abducted suddenly from youth, captive in haggardly age,
Your battle with scalpels left their jagged marks…
Just as your ancestral Natives wore paint when war raged,
It was your way to push back at the dark.
If time were a river, I'd gladly jump right in…
To dark, freezing waters, no matter, I'd swim…
To try to give back a portion of your goodness and light,
Stand with my back to yours and together we'd fight.
