Happy Birthday Poems For Family - Touching Birthday Poems

A Birthday Celebration is a life affirming event. Celebrating a birthday is making a statement that your life is significant and meaningful. You are saying, my life is worth living and therefore I am celebrating that I am alive for another year. It is a time to get together with friends and family and celebrate the life that you are living. 

Birthdays may also be a time of melancholy reflection if we are not happy with our current station in life. For this reason it is good to have family and friends close to you to let you know how special you are.

  1. Happy Birthday, Daughter

    • By Alora M. Knight
    • Published by Family Friend Poems January 2019 with permission of the Author.

    My daughter, Marsha, was born on Friday the 13th and my son on Mother's day. It should have been changed around. Although there were the teenage tangles, I have had a wonderful relationship with my daughter. She was my strength through my divorce, and I was there for her when her marriage dissolved. She's given me one grandson and 4 beautiful grandchildren. Now I'm 98 and she is the one helping me, sharing the good things in life.

    in Birthday Poems

    Many are the joys in life.
    I'm blessed with quite a few.
    Still, most of all I'm grateful
    To have a daughter just like you.

  7. Don't Forget

    • By Vicki Fearnley
    • Published by Family Friend Poems July 2016 with permission of the Author.

    This is a poem about stopping and remembering the sacrifice your mother has made for you. Yes, you may not always see eye to eye, and your mother may one day break your heart, but she gave up more than you could ever imagine. No matter what, you must always remember that she loves you and did what she thought was best.

    in Birthday Poems

    Your birthday is the day I remember
    all the wonderful things you do.

  15. Today Our Twins Turn One!

    • By Jamie Anderson
    • Published by Family Friend Poems October 2011 with permission of the Author.

    I'm a wife and a mother of three. Nearly a year and a half ago we got the surprise of our lives--I was expecting twins! We were scared at first and struggled to make sense of what having twins would mean for our family. We'd just moved to a new state, we had no family nearby and our son loved being an only child. This poem reflects on the past year as we've adjusted to our growing family, and it celebrates how much we love and cherish our newest additions.

    in Twin Poems

    "It's twins!" the tech told me, giving me quite a fright.
    "Are you sure?!?" I had asked, wondering if I'd heard right.
    But sure enough, there you were, up there on the screen
    And I tried to make sense of what it all would mean.

  22. Happy Birthday, Sweetheart

    My husband and I are apart because he's in Iraq with the military. Like many couples we find that supporting each other emotionally, spiritually, and daily through life is sometimes challenging when we live under the same roof; and always challenging when we're thousands of miles apart. We both need different types of support now. With prayers and my wish for him in this poem I send him strength and love.
