Special Friend

When a friend is special
their birthday is too –
That’s why these special wishes
are on their way to you.

And if your birthday brings you
surprises, great and small –
That’s just the way it should be
for the dearest friend of all.

Happy birthday, dearest friend.


My Friend On Your Birthday

Dear friend, let me say
something on this special day
Though we are far apart,
You’ll be always in my heart.

I cherish those moments,
our silly fights and funny talks
and how we grew together,
stayed united in grief and laughter.

May your face always light up with glee.
I wish you never ever feel empty.
I pray, may God be always by your side.
I want you to always lift up your head in pride.

My friend, on your birthday,
all I want to say
is that you mean the world to me
and you are more than just a friend to me.

—Anisha Joseph


To The Strongest Lady I know, On Your Birthday

On your birthday,
I wanted you to know
that I am so fortunate
not only to have such

I could wish for.

You are an inspiration
to many, including me!

Have the absolute best

My Friend

My Friend,

On your special day
I quote Harold B. Lee
And say

"May you have
Enough happiness to keep you sweet,
Enough trials to keep you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human,
Enough hope to keep you happy,
Enough failure to keep you humble,
Enough success to keep you eager,
Enough wealth to meet your needs,
Enough enthusiasm to look forward,
Enough friends to give you comfort,
Enough faith to banish depression,
Enough determination to make each day better than yesterday.".
Happy Birthday!!

in hopes that the coming year
is filled with things you love to do.

We know you will give it your best.

Happy Birthday, Far Away, Friend

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.

—Edarly Edouard


A Gift Of Friendship

Happy Birthday to my very best friend.
Your special day has come by again.
We had so much fun last time around.
A younger sister was someone I found.

Each year March 4th is a wonderful day,
As we march forth in our own fun way.
Just hanging around and laughing a lot;
It is truly amazing what we have got.

A friendship like ours is not easy to come by.
Often the intensity of it makes me so high.
Is our beautiful friendship really only a dream?
Sometimes it feels so unreal that I must scream.

Cries of joy and happiness galore,
And that is what I most adore.
Your infectious laughter and zest for life,
But I am there to keep you from strife.

How lucky we are to have found one another,
I couldn’t spend so much time with any other.
I will always be there to watch over you,
To keep you safe and happy too.

Well, my dear, I wish you Happy Birthday once more,
An abundance of good wishes for you are in store.
A new year filled with lots of happiness and laughter,
And only the very best for you from here on after.

—Sasha17

You deserve the best of everything
So may this birthday and the coming year be
One that offers you the best that life may bring.

—Kate Summers


Maturity And Growing Up

Birthday Wishes To A Friend

So many people live around you,
But not all get close to your heart.
Some become so dear
That with their thoughts, its beating starts.
You are the one to whom
I’ll give my care to the most.
Your absence makes me feel in life,
As if everything is completely lost.
Your birthday was in my mind,
Wishes though I couldn’t convey.
There were so many hurdles
Standing tall in the way.
I have prayed for your good life
And mental peace with good health.
The rest of things are just temporary,
Only these will be your real wealth.

—Shishir

Funny Birthday Poems For Friends

If you and your friend love pulling each other’s legs and making each other laugh out loud, share these funny birthday poems with them.


Beauty And The Botox

Happy birthday!
You may look a little older,
Sadly youth doesn’t come cheap,
So skip all those Botox parties,
And just get your beauty sleep.

Poem On Wishes

Be glad you’re young at heart,
And still, look as good as gold,
Too bad you’re not a millionaire,
And can’t put your looks on hold.


Can’t Remember

I wish you something, just can’t remember,
Don’t be upset; you’re my family member.
It was clearly, on my mind,
With so many thoughts, it’s hard to find.

Maybe it’s simply not that essential,
Please lose that frown; you have so much potential.
On second thought, it might be coming back to me,
Now I know why those brain pills were free.

Visions appear of colorful balloons,
In the background, I hear those fine tunes.
Near the end of the dream, I can taste a delicious cake,
It must be your birthday, as I awake.


Happy Birthday

Happy birthday to the cartoon I know,
You have so many stupid gestures to show,
Ok, don’t get bugged; I was kidding, my dear,
Coz it’s your birthday, so spread the cheer,
Have the most amazing day of your life,
May God give me strength to survive,
With you
Lol!


Getting Old On Your Birthday

It is indeed tough to stack candles on your cake,
For I am truly running out of space.
It’s time we think of something new,
But I ensure I’ll make it so true.
Happy birthday dear friend
For genuine love and prayers, here I send.


Your Zoo

A birthday should always be a joyous occasion,
Family and friends; obvious invasion.
Duplicate gifts, you don’t even like,
If you complain, might get a strike.

One simple day, placed on display,
Carefully observed for signs of decay.
Dishonest smiles, they don’t mingle in truth,
As if you were the only, losing your youth.

At such a wise age, everything seems so clear,
Excuse to celebrate, they all came for beer.
Deep down inside, you know that they care,
Your Zoo is unique; normal is rare.

—Martin Dejnicki


The Best Face

Happy birthday!

Your birthday is a joyous occasion,
For family and friends, a special day,
A time to tell you how good you look,
As we check you for signs of decay.

Our loving, caring smiles tell no lies,
Our flattery has but a grain of truth,
When we say you look like a teen,
We mean you’re losing your youth.

Nobody gets out of here a beauty,
That should be clear at your stage,
Deep down inside, you know it’s true,
Even the best faces sag with age.

A Simple Birthday Wish

Happy birthday my dear friend
Here’s a card to wish you well
It might just be a simple thing
But I think that you are swelling.


Dear Friend

I’ve spoken many lies.
I’ve broken many promises.
I’ve picked up many fights.
I’ve given you bad memories.
Yet, through this chaos.
By my side, you’ve stood strong.
Backing me all the time
Even when you know, I was wrong
What did I do to deserve
Such a loyal friend, I have no clue
But one thing’s for sure, my life
Is nothing without you
Happy birthday


My Companion

My companion in life
A close friend is one
Of the most important
Things in life, and if
You’re lucky enough
To find that person,
You’ll have found
A companion for life.

I am lucky that I found
That is you, my dear.

Happy birthday to my
Companion in life: my
All-time bestie!


A Birthday Gift To You

At times, I wonder what makes you special,
The smile, the trust, or the way you care.
At times, I wonder what makes you fun,
The bond, the memories, or the way you share.

Today, I wonder what should I gift you?
You always have my support, care, and love
So I gather deep emotions to greet you.

I wish you a very Happy Birthday.


Many Happy Years

Your friendship means a lot to me
And I want you to know
I love to send you birthday cards
I love to watch you grow
I love to share the little things
The laughs, the hugs, the tears
So mark down another birthday
I wish you many happy years


Our Friendship

Our friendship has no shape.
It can’t be measured with a tape
Our friendship flows like water
It adapts according to situation and matter
Our friendship tastes like cake
It is sweet, cute, and never fake
Our friendship feels genuine and true
Here’s wishing a happy birthday to you.


My Brightest Star

Been through a lot in life
We have, together
Not a single regret I have

Contemplate your blessings now,

Who love you, and who care,
And others who've enriched your life
Just by being there.

Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are.

So cut your cake, and say,

I count blessings every day!"

Happy Birthday, Special Treasure

God gave a gift to the world when you were born—
a person who loves, who cares,
who sees a person's need and fills it,
who encourages and lifts people up,
who spends energy on others
rather than herself,
someone who touches each life she enters,
and makes a difference in the world,
because ripples of kindness flow outward
as each person you have touched, touches others.
Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday,
because you are a special treasure
for all that you've done.
May the love you have shown to others
return to you, multiplied.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays,
and many, many more,
so that others have time to appreciate you
as much as I do.

Funny Guy

My funny guy, when I look at you,
Making faces, as you do,
To make me giggle, and keep me happy,
When I'm feeling down or sad or crappy,

To just be silly, instead of tough
To give me gladness, bliss and joy,

Who makes me laugh, because he can.

Happy Birthday, Old Friend

Congratulations to you, my old friend,
Birthday wishes to you, I send.
You look good for your age, I could say,

'Cause I know the mirror doesn't lie.
You're aging like me, so you see
You're getting to be an old guy.

As happy as you have made me.

is privileged to know
such an extraordinary person.
You are a great joy in our lives.
We love you and cherish you and treasure you
and wish that every one of your birthdays
will be the happiest yet.

Birthday Star

I have gifts in my in my life;
One is my daughter!
If she'd cost me a fortune,
I still would have bought her! 

Now, as we get older,
As birthdays go by,
I love her much more
Than there are stars in the sky. 

She's the part of my life
That makes me feel I did fine,
And I’ll cherish that feeling,
In my heart, for all time. 

So happy birthday, sweet girl,
My daughter, so dear;
I wish you more happiness
With each passing year.

Brother Birthday Poem

A brother is a good thing to have, so let's not forget a brother birthday verse!

Birthday Poem For Brother

I'm fortunate, and I'm glad
I got you for my brother;
Even if I had the chance,
I wouldn't pick another.

I'm happy you're in my life;
You're my winner, come what may.
May your birthday wishes come true
On your very special day.

Granddaughter Birthday Poem

You can customize this granddaughter birthday poem by substituting something like "pretty brown hair" for "pretty blond curls."

Special Granddaughter

There's someone we love,
Our special granddaughter;
She's sweet and she's nice,
Just like Dad and Mom taught her.

She's got a really cute smile
And pretty blond curls;
She's a wonderful person,
The best of all girls.

We're so glad she's ours;
We rejoice every day;
She's our angel granddaughter,
And we just want to say...

Happy Birthday (Name)!

Our wonderful sister;

Baby's First Birthday Poem

Birthday messages can be specific to someone's age. Here's a first birthday poem for baby.

Baby's First Birthday

It's your very first birthday, baby,
One candle on your cake;
Proud parents stare in wonder
At each new move you make.

We join in celebration,
As this special date arrives,
For baby has brought pleasure
Into all our lives.

We look forward now to seeing
How you progress and grow,
From the cute and tiny infant
You were one year ago.

So dig into your icing;
Enjoy your presents, too.
The reason for this day
Is a special person--you!

50th Birthday Poem

Birthday greetings for that big half century mark are popular. This 50th birthday poem celebrates that event.

The Big Five-Oh

So you are finally fifty;
Happy birthday on the big Five-Oh.
I guess you could fill a great big book
With everything you know.

A whole half century of living
Is nothing to sneeze about,
So if you're a little patched and worn,
Don't you dare frown or pout.

Ignore things that make you feel old;
It's really great to be fifty.
You're smart, attractive and good company,
And I still think you're nifty!

By Joanna Fuchs

There's an over-the-hill 40th birthday poem

There are lots of searches for a birthday prayer, so I wrote a birthday poem that is also a birthday blessing. If the person is "him," change "her" to "him."

A Birthday Prayer

Her birthday comes but once a year;
Lord, fill her day with joy and cheer;
This person who's so very dear,
Take care of her and keep her near.

Dear Lord in heaven, bless this day;
Protect this loved one, come what may;
Love her in your special way;
In Jesus' precious name I pray.
Amen.
