Short Birthday Poems

The Passing Years
By: Edward Tuck
Age is a quality of mind:
If you have left your dreams behind,
If hope is lost,
If you no longer look ahead,
If your ambition's fires are dead,
Then you are old.

But if from life you take the best
And if in life you keep the jest,
If love you hold,
No matter how the years go by,
No matter how the birthdays fly,
You are not old.

Another Year
By: Theodore W. Higginsworth
Another birthday, another year
May you have problems that disappear
May you have health
And a bit of wealth
May you share
With those who care
May the coming year
Be one of good cheer.

The Happiest Age
By: Wilhelmina Stitch
What age is happiest?
Had you asked me,
I would have made this plea:
the Now is best.

What joy to live with zest each newborn day;
and from the Moment wrest what Life will give away.
The Past is but a guest who came and went,
and left this one behest: to be content.

Think how To-day is blest!
We've eyes to see Nature in Beauty drest for you, for me.
What matter that the crest of Youth is past.
Youth lives within the breast with joys that last.
The will to do our best, and hands for giving.
Oh! Now's the happiest, best time for living!

What age is happiest?
Oh! hear my vow, for I have put the test -
the happiest's Now.
Sweet sighs and kindly jest for warmth and cheer;
and Love's most high bequest to crown the year.

I, my dear, was born to-day-
By: Matthew Prior
I, my dear, was born to-day-
So all my jolly comrades say:
They bring me music, wreaths, and mirth,
And ask to celebrate my birth:
Little, alas! my comrades know
That I was born to pain and woe;
To thy denial, to thy scorn,
Better I had ne'er been born:
I wish to die, even whilst I say-
'I, my dear, was born to-day.'
I, my dear, was born to-day:
Shall I salute the rising ray,
Well-spring of all my joy and woe?
Clotilda, thou alone dost know.
Shall the wreath surround my hair?
Or shall the music please my ear?
Shall I my comrades' mirth receive,
And bless my birth, and wish to live?
Then let me see great Venus chase
Imperious anger from thy face;
Then let me hear thee smiling say-
'Thou, my dear, wert born to-day.'

This day, whate'er the Fates decree
By: Jonathan Swift
This day, whate'er the Fates decree,
Shall still be kept with joy by me:
This day then let us not be told,
That you are sick, and I grown old;
Nor think on our approaching ills,
And talk of spectacles and pills.
To-morrow will be time enough
To hear such mortifying stuff.
et, since from reason may be brought
A better and more pleasing thought,
Which can, in spite of all decays,
Support a few remaining days:
From not the gravest of divines
Accept for once some serious lines.

It feels so good with you
By: P. Knudsen
It feels so magical in your company
We talk about so many things
We talk about our hopes
And things of the blings
We talk about our life to come
And other things per say
You are the reason for my life
Can't even stay a day without you
Coz I simply love you
For best sis forever
Happy birthday to you God bless you!

Count Your Garden By the Flowers
Count your garden by the flowers
Never by the leaves that fall.
Count your day by golden hours
Don’t remember clouds at all.
Count your nights by stars not shadows.
Count your life by smile not tears.
And with joy on every birth day count your age by friends not years...

May Your Birthday
May your birthday be bright,
from morning till night...
as years come and go,
may things turn nicer than ever before...
may all your dreams be fulfilled and
your happiness grow manifold
Happy Birthday to you!

Birthday
it's my birthday.
i cried last night of the thought that i really made it another year.
the rain seemed to push me down so hard and i can't believe i'm still here.
walking with my friend yesterday,
i looked at her,
just by looking at her,
i knew that i should be here.
in that moment,
i knew i wanted to stay.
it's birthday and i'm --,
another year of breathing,
another year of crying,
another year of smiling,
another year of feeling like i was nothing,
another year of loving,
another year of me.
i don't know how to feel this year about myself yet but
i'm here and that's all that matters.

The things I want to know
The things that may see
And things that you want to see
There is difference in nature I know
And we can be a Bit off shore
But my love for you will never change
I know its a bit strange
But I want to confess it to you
That my sis I truly love you
Have a super day today on
Your special birthday
Happy birthday have a nice day!

Its Your Day
Hooray hooray today is your day,
The day you turn another age away,
Into the bin your old age goes,
In with the new one in it flows,
Today is your day don't hesitate,
LIVE YOUR LIFE AS NEW AGE TODAY!

You're always very special
You're always very special
And you should know today
That you are wished the nicest things
That life can bring your way
Like warm and loving wishes
And happiness and cheer
And everything you need to start
Another happy year

This brings a wish for all
This brings a wish for all
The best a day and year
Can bring, for someone
Who should always have
The best of everything!
Have a Happy Birthday
And a wonderful year!

A wish for lots of birthday fun
A wish for lots of birthday fun
To last until the day is done.
Hoping that all your wishes comes true,
and your birthday cake is as sweet as you!

A Wonderful Person
You're a wonderful person
and a special friend
You deserve all the best
that life has to give.

Special Birthday
What's so special about a birthday?
Is it the age?
The surprises and gifts?
The laughing and celebrating
with family and friends?

On this special day
Because, today is a very special day
Simply sending a birthday with, wouldn't do
So, here's wishing you happy moments
A day when all your dreams come true
And, a year that means most to you!

Loving and Caring
You are God's gift to us from above
So loving and caring
Someone who touches each life she enters
Beaming bright joy on everyone you meet
May the love you have shared with others
Return to you multiplied
I wish you many many more
happiest of Birthdays!

Thinking of the Times
Thinking of the times
we spent together
brings a sweet smile
on my face!
Happy Birthday
to a special friend
who will always
remain in my heart

Make a Wish
Make a wish on birthday
make a wish and give it wings
dreams of bright and beautiful things
dance through all the fun filled hours
don't forget to smell the flowers
share some love and birthday cake
all life joys are yours to take
and when evening comes to view
thanks your lucky stars you're you
