Birthday Greetings To You
by Catherine Pulsifer, © 2015
This is the anniversary of the day you were born
There is no reason for you to scorn
A day for a party, presents, and gifts
We hope this day gives you a lift
Always remember age is only a date
And you determine your own fate
I wish you happiness and joy in life
And many more birthdays to bring you delight -
A Birthday Wish
Poet: John Imrie
Birthday greetings now I send,
Full of gladness, love, and joy,
May this year, my loving friend,
Bring thee peace without alloy;
Keep this token as a charm.
Proof of Friendship ever dear,
Fain would I shield thee from harm
All this happy golden year! -
To Another Year
Poet: Eloise A. Skimings
May joys unbounded
Be for thee to-night,
When thou'rt surrounded
By the gay and bright.
May music and song
Commence thy new year,
That thou may'st live long.
Each fond heart to cheer. -
Birthday Thoughts
Poet: Unknown
AT twenty-five — at twenty-five,
The heart should not be cold;
It still is young in deeds to strive,
Though half life's tale be told;
And Fame should keep its youth alive,
If Love would make it old.
But mine is like that plant which grew
And wither'd in a night,
Which from the skies of midnight drew
Its ripening and its blight —
Matured in Heaven's tears of dew,
And faded ere her light.
Its hues, in sorrow's darkness born
In tears were foster'd first;
Its powers, from passion's frenzy drawn,
In passion's gloom were nurs'd —
And perishing ere manhood's dawn.
Did prematurely burst
Yet all I've learnt from hours rife
With painful brooding here
Is that, amid this mortal strife.
The lapse of every year
But takes away a hope from life,
And adds to death a fear.

Once A Year
by Catherine Pulsifer, © 2020
Birthdays come but once a year
A time for fun and lots of cheer
For some, they fear the day
They don't want to get old and gray.
Your age truly matters not
What matters is your thoughts
Live each day and celebrate life
Stay positive when faced with strife.
So be happy to see your birthday arrive
You have another year and you're alive
Happy Birthday To You! -

I Would

I would flood your path with sunshine;

Birthdays Are A Time
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Birthdays are a time for reflection
A time to stop and look at your direction
The years pass quickly by
That fact no one can deny.
Birthdays are a time for family, friends, and celebration
A time for laughter and conversation
Appreciation is shown to you
For all that you are and all that you do.
Birthdays are a time to look forward
A time to set the standard
As life is meant to be lived each day
To keep a balance in work and in play.
So on this birthday, good things are wished for you
Know, always we love you too
So as you blow out the candles
Remember, life will never give you more than you can handle. -

For this day, be thankful and be glad
Lift your head and give thanks to God above
And remember, you are loved.
Happy Birthday To You! -

Sunshine and a bit of hip-hop
Blue skies, not gray ones
Are wished without question!
Happiness and friendship
Take away the hardship
Of the age, you are about to turn
The years have gone by, oh, how they churn.
So whatever you do, don't dismay
On this your birthday. -
A Birthday Greeting
Poet: M. E. F.
What shall I wish thee for the coming year?
Twelve months of dream-like ease? no care? no pain?
Bright spring, calm summer, autumn without rain
Of bitter tears? Wouldst have it thus, my friend?
What lesson, then, were learnt at the year's end?
What shall I wish thee, then? God knoweth well
If I could have my way no shade of woe
Should ever dim thy sunshine; but I know
Strong courage is not learnt in happy sleep,
Nor patience sweet by eyes that never weep.
Ah, would my wishes were of more avail
To keep from thee the many jars of life!
Still let me wish thee courage for the strife,
The happiness that comes of work well done,
And, afterwards, the peace of victory won! - To My Cousin On His Birthday by Lillian E. Curtis
- To My Mother On Her Birthday by Lillian E. Curtis
