Birthday Wishes of Happiness
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Mom, you are always so cheery and bright
To us, you gave so much delight
When we were sad
You made us feel glad.
And when we were blue
You picked up our spirits that's true
When we were kids
We never realized all that you did.
And during the times when we had fears
You were always there to dry our tears
You always made the time
To pick us up and help us climb.
So on this birthday, we do wish
You have nothing but happiness
You are the best Mom a person could have
For that, we are all so glad.

Happy Birthday Mom
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Happy Birthday to a woman I respect,
To a woman whom I admire.
May your birthday be filled
With all that you desire.
Love you Mom,
There is no one like you
You truly are one of a kind
Love you, and appreciate all you do.
-
One Wish
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Mom, if I had one wish
it would be for you to never wash another dish.
Not just on your birthday
But every day.
You clean and you cook
You never have time, to read a book.
Washing clothes, making beds
Even making homemade bread.
Imagine what our house would look like
If Mom you decided to go on strike?
So, on this your birthday I just want to say
We all appreciate you in every way!

Conclusion:
A mother’s birthday is not just a celebration of the day she was born. It is a celebration of who she is every day. Through each passing year, she gives so much of herself, her time, her care, her wisdom, and most of all, her love. She rarely asks for anything in return, yet her presence shapes our lives in countless ways.
As children, we may not always see the quiet sacrifices or steady encouragement she offers. But as time goes on, we begin to understand just how deeply she has given of herself. Not for praise, but because that is simply what mothers do.
These birthday poems were written to honor the woman who has cheered us on, dried our tears, and loved us unconditionally. They are simple words of thanks to say, “Mom, you mean so much.”
May these verses help you express the love and appreciation you hold in your heart. And may your mother feel celebrated -not only today, but every day. There is truly no love like a mother’s love.
