As I Grow Old
God keep my heart attuned to laughter,
When youth is done;
When all the days are gray days,
Coming after the warmth, the sun.
God keep me then from bitterness, from grieving,
When life seems cold;
God keep me always loving and believing,
As I grow old.

Grow Old Along With Me!!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in his hands who saith,
A whole I planned,Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!
Robert Browning
Let Me Grow Lovely
Let me grow lovely, growing old
So many fine things do:
Laces, and ivory, and gold,gold,
And silks need not be new;
And there is healing in old trees,
Old streets a glamour hold;
Why may not I, as well as these,
Grow lovely, growing old?
Karle Wilson Baker
I remember, I remember
The roses, red and white,
The violets, and the lily-cups,
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs, where the robin built,
And where my brother set
The laburmum on his birthday,-
The tree is living yet.
Thomas Hood

Birthday Rhymes:

Writing the perfect birthday rhymes isn't the most easiest thing to do in the world, but is definitely obtainable. With just a little bit of guidance and helpful hints, you will be on your way to sending birthday wishes in the way of a well written poem.

Well the easiest poem to write that doesn't take much writing skills and you have the choice of making it rhyme or not would be an Acrostic Poem. This is a poem make out of the initials of the guest of honors name. You write the letters of the persons name vertically and use each letter as the start of a sentence.

Example of someone who is loved!

If you are going to write this in a card or letter or use this in some handmade gift, you may want to bold or change the colour of the letters of the person's name like we did here. This names the name stand out a little more.

If you'd prefer to write a poem that does rhyme here are a few steps to get you started:

Consider person's characteristics and traits and jot down some to put in the poem
Find out what they love to do and pick a topic to write the poem about
Within that topic, find a funny story that will is not hurtful or personal
Find other poems that you can use as examples
Gather all your information and start writing your poem one line at a time

You may find using a rhyming dictionary to be a helpful resource. It is okay to get help from family and friends if you are having a hard time adding in a certain piece of information. They may have another though on how you can write it. Two heads are always better than one.

Happy Birthday to Jane,
Who lives down the lane.
She's always out in her garden
Picking the weeds and planting new trees.
We just hope she takes time out for this party.
We've done our very best.
Not to make you wear a dress,
So you don't have to change out of your overalls.
We all know how Jane clothes,
Never wanting to dress up for a party.
So here we all are with a drink in our hand
Let's all raise our glasses if we can,
And sing happy birthday to Jane.
Happy Birthday best friend,
May this day be full of fun.
Relax and do your fav's,
Enjoy some fun in the sun.

Its your birthday and you can cry if you want to, But why on earth would you want to do that!

Its your birthday and you can cry if you want to,
But why on earth would you want to do that!
Its your birthday and no sadness for you!
So let it all go and put on your happiness hat!
Age is only a number,
And if you don't feel your age,
Your number is not worth talking about,
No need to become enraged.
Until Then
On your birthday you will be spoiled,
A day that is truly yours.
Take it all in and soak up as much as you can,
For tomorrow you will have to mature...Read the rest of Until Then
