    2. So Fast
      Poet: Samatha C. Ringle


      The years go flying by so fast
      We wonder why our youth does not last
      But when I look at you I see
      A younger version of what you used to be
      But remember I am aging with you
      And without my glasses, the picture is skewed
      So who cares about what has been done
      As long as birthdays keep having fun!



    3. Memory Slips
      Poet: Julie Hebert

      I forgot to get you
      A present this time,
      But flowers or chocolates,
      Cost more than a dime.

      With age memories start
      To go and slip away,
      But, we can still celebrate
      With a happy day!




    4. The poem, A Birthday Wish, has a cheerful birthday message emphasizing the importance of humor and joy in the face of aging.

The closing lines encourage the birthday person to focus on the joy of the moment, make a wish, and embrace their age with happiness and enthusiasm.

    5. A Birthday Wish
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      A birthday wish with humor and glee,
      Celebrate the day, let your spirit roam free.
      Age is just a number, a mere statistic,
      Your sense of humor, now that's realistic.

      Keep your heart young, let the laughter flow,
      With every joke, let your happiness grow.
      Aging like fine wine, getting better with time,
      Happy Birthday, you are in your prime!

      So blow out the candles, make a wish or two,
      May your day be fantastic, just like you.
      Forget the numbers, let joy take the stage,
      Happy Birthday, and remember, embrace the age!




    6. The poem, Another Year Older, is one that those who are getting older can relate to. Age gives us all physical changes and this poem mentions them in a way that will bring a smile. However, it also suggests that getting older is a unique and valuable journey.

    7. Another Year Older
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      Another year older, boy what a ride,
      Your wrinkles have wrinkles, there's no place to hide.
      Your hair might be graying, your back might be sore,
      But hey, at least you don't snore anymore!

      Reading the menu now requires some light,
      Your old jeans are snug, possibly too tight.
      Yet with each day so fast and golden,
      You're not getting older, just better molded!



    8. Keep Having Birthdays
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      May your birthday be a hoot,
      Full of laughter, cake, and loot,
      May you party from dusk till dawn,
      And wake up to mow the lawn.

      Keep having birthdays, never stop,
      Till your candles cause a blackout,
      But in all seriousness, my dear,
      May each year bring you much cheer!



    9. The Years You've Seen
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      I tried to write a funny rhyme,
      But age just isn't that prime.
      I searched my brain, I searched each nook,
      But all I found was a funny look.

      So here's a toast to the years you've seen,
      May your happiness always beam.
      Don't worry about wrinkles or grays,
      You're still young in so many ways.



    10. My Friend
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      My friend, a birthday just for you,
      I hope it’s a blast,
      Your day is so special,
      And your life has lasted.

      Your friends want to cheer
      Your age, old and new,
      This funny old poem
      That I write just for you!

      We wish you health and joy
      And be blessed in all that you do.
      So celebrate together the way birthdays are meant to,
      Happy Birthday to you!



    11. We wish you health and joy And be blessed in all that you do.


    12. Funny Poem For You Dad
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      Here's a funny birthday poem for you Dad,
      Like it or not, you'll find it glad.
      On your day we sat awhile
      To write rhymes to make you smile.

      Happy Birthday, Dad! What fun it brings
      See how the years have made you sing.
      You know by now there’s not a doubt-
      You’re aged to perfection like an aged trout!

      We cherish all you do for us,
      Your birthday is a celebration that is a must!
      Your birthday should be wonderful and grand
      We love you, and are always willing to give you a hand!



    13. It's Your Birthday
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      It's your birthday, my dear friend,
      And though you're aging, you still contend
      To look so good, it's hard to believe
      Those wrinkles? Just smiles, they deceive.

      You may be getting up there in years
      But it's nothing to bring on the tears.
      So let's celebrate with cake and cheer,
      Another year older but still so dear!



    14. Fly By
      Poet: Julie Hebert

      Birthdays past, what was and is no more,
      Youth does fly, as moments rush before.

      Gone too soon, young years, fly by
      But I am not going to sit and cry.

      Middle age sneaks in to take its spot,
      We know give age a bit more thought.

      And soon old age will be here
      But then everyone will love us and call us dear!



    15. Don't Fret
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      Don't fret, have no regrets
      You will soon forget
      Your mind is getting old you know
      And sometimes it even shows.
      But carry on and happily be
      In you, there is always beauty.
      Happy Birthday my dear
      Don't let age be a fear!



    16. Happy Birthday my dear Don't let age be a fear!


    17. As I Grow Old
      Poet:  Unknown

      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.



    18. You Got Me
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      For your birthday, I searched high and low
      For something awesome, sweet, a real show
      But then it hit me like a punch to the head
      You've already got me, what more could be said?

      So instead of a gift wrapped in ribbons and bows
      I offer my friendship, my jokes, and my woes
      Happy birthday, my friend, may your day be a treat
      And remember, having me around is pretty neat!



    19. Let Me Grow Lovely
      Poet: Karle Wilson Baker

      Let me grow lovely, growing old
      So many fine things do:
      Laces, and ivory, and 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?



    20. Birthday Fun
      Poet: Julie Hebert

      Birthday fun no
      Matter the age,
      The past is gone
      Turn the page,
      Who knows what
      Tomorrow may bring,
      But today,
      Happy Birthday, we'll sing.




    21. The poem, A Milestone Birthday, humorously addresses the concept of reaching a milestone birthday where the person begins to forget things. The Poet playfully mentions the common experience of forgetting things. The phrase "Happy milestone birthday, forget-me-not!" is a lighthearted way to wish the person well on their special day despite the forgetful moments. 

    22. A Milestone Birthday
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      A milestone birthday, oh dear
      You remember you forgot something, clear
      But what it was, you can't recall
      Was it your keys, or to call?

      Perhaps your memory's starting to fray
      But let's celebrate in a humorous way
      Forgetting things is just part of the plot
      Happy milestone birthday, forget-me-not!



    23. I Remember
      Poet: Thomas Hood

      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 laburnum  on his birthday,-
      The tree is living yet.



    24. The poem, You're Getting Older, acknowledges the passage of time as the person becomes one year older. The poem humorously mentions the inevitability of getting older and the physical changes that come with it, but encourages celebrating with laughter and good cheer.

    25. You're Getting Older
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      Today is a special day, oh what a sight,
      You're one year older, and things are getting tight!
      Time zooms by, faster than we can grasp,
      But you're aging like fine wine, that's a gas!

      Seems like yesterday you were just a sprout,
      Now you're getting older, there's no doubt.
      But don't you worry, you can still bend,
      You're still hip and cool, with style to no end!

      So let's celebrate this milestone, with cheer and glee,
      Laughing at the wrinkles, that's the key.
      Happy birthday, may laughter be your guide,
      Even though each year we are getting more wide.



    26. Happy birthday, may laughter be your guide, Even though each year we are getting more wide.


    27. I Forgot
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      Forget about the past, it's gone and done,
      Can't change a thing, so why not have fun?
      Forget about the future, can't foresee it,
      Just live life even if age slows you down a bit.

      Forget about the present? Oh dear me,
      I forgot to buy you one, how could that be?
      But, I will wish you Happy Birthday and many more years
      And offer you smiles and lots of cheers!




    28. While humorous, the poem, We're Still Kicking, is a reminder of life's continuity and the passage of time. The overall tone is upbeat and encourages looking forward to many more birthdays as occasions for celebration rather than apprehension.

    29. We're Still Kicking
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      Birthdays come around once a year,
      A sign that we're still kicking, never fear!
      The more we have, the longer we'll stay,
      So bring on the candles, let's party today!

      Cake and presents bring us cheer,
      Each year older, but still in good gear.
      Here's to many more birthdays ahead,
      Birthdays to celebrate not to dread!



    30. Roses Are Red
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      Roses are red, violets are blue,
      I'm thankful for my youth, aren't you?
      With every wrinkle and gray hair,
      You remind me life's not always fair.

      But don't you worry, friend of mine,
      I'll still hang out with you just fine.
      Aging gracefully is not a race,
      So let's just laugh in this funny place.




    31. The poem, Your Wearing Well, is one for someone who looks great for their age. While it will make them smile it will also make them feel good about their age.

    32. Your Wearing Well!
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      Everybody has birthdays, it's true,
      But you wear yours with more style than a T-Rex in blue.
      You're aging like fine wine, getting better with age,
      While others just stumble through their birthday stage.

      So here's to you, the birthday star of the show,
      The one who wears their age like a fabulous glow.
      Happy birthday, may your candles shine bright,
      And let's celebrate all day and party into the night!



    33. Age
      Poet: Julie Hebert

      What is age, but something to count?
      Some people fight it, like climbing a mount.
      I choose to live, with dignity and grace,
      And offer a drink, to all in this place.

      So raise your glasses, let's make a toast,
      To a life well-lived, where age is just a boast.
      With each passing year, we'll continue to thrive,
      Finding humor and joy, thankful we are still alive!



    34. What is age, but something to count?


    35. Wiser With Age
      Poet: B. R. Clement

      Now they say you are wiser with age
      The years pass and you go through a stage
      Wow, then you must be some wise
      Your age is truly a surprise
      You try to say you're younger that is true
      But knowing your age, you deserve your dues.
      Life stages you have seen many come and go
      And look at you it does not show.



    36. The poem, The Silver Lining, celebrates the positive aspects of aging, emphasizing the perks that come with getting older, such as senior discounts. It encourages embracing the benefits of aging, like cheaper movies and meals, and sees senior discounts as a silver lining in the process of growing old. The overall tone is lighthearted and optimistic, suggesting that aging can bring its own set of enjoyable advantages.

    37. The Silver Lining
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      As the years pile on, don't wear a frown
      Senior discounts will turn that frown upside down
      A little gray hair, a few wrinkles here and there
      Means cheaper movies and meals without a care

      Embrace the perks of being older, oh how sweet!
      Discounts galore, life's little treats
      So let old age come with its silver crown
      Senior discounts - the silver lining in town!



    38. You're Not Done
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      On your special day, you say you want to cry,
      But don't fret, just give laughter a try.
      Age is unstoppable, it marches with a beat,
      But trust me, each milestone brings something sweet.

      With each passing year, you gain wisdom, it's true,
      And a few more wrinkles, to add to the view.
      But hey, who needs Botox or fancy creams?
      You've got stories to tell and fabulous dreams!

      So embrace the gray hairs, they're strands of pride,
      And those extra pounds? Just a bump in the ride.
      Each age brings unique adventures and fun,
      Happy birthday, getting older doesn't mean you're done!



    39. Happy Hour
      Poet: C. A. Lynch

      Happy hour, oh what a time!
      But your age is showing, it's quite sublime.
      When the clock strikes five,
      Your mind just wants to jive.

      But it seems your body shouts with power
      "Siesta time, it's Happy Hour."
      Rather than put on your cap,
      You think, "Happy hour, yeah, a time for a nap."



    40. Another Year
      Poet: Julie Hebert

      Another year has come around,
      Your age is really mounting sound.
      But don't regret a thing,
      In fact, it's kind of exciting!
      You've got wrinkles and gray hair,
      But who even cares?
      You're still young at heart like me
      With lots of life still left to see!



    41. Ninety One
      Poet: Mrs. C. K. Smith

      Yes, I am ninety-one today;
      The world is just as bright and gay
      As when I was but "sweet sixteen,"
      And not so many years between!



    42. Your Secial Day
      Poet: C.A. Lynch

      In a world of candles, cakes, and cheer,
      It's your special day, let's make that clear.
      Another year wiser, or so they say,
      But we won't dwell on that, it's time to play!

      Balloons are floating, confetti's in the air,
      Celebrating you, beyond compare.
      Cake so sweet, it's almost a crime,
      But calories don't count on birthday time!

      A year older, but look at you shine,
      With each passing year, you're like fine wine.
      So blow out those candles, make a wish or two,
      Happy Birthday here's to you!



    43. This poem, So Many Candles, celebrates the birthday of someone with a cheerful tone.

    44. So Many Candles
      Poet: C.A. Lynch

      So many candles on your cake, what a sight,
      But don't you worry, you've still got the might,
      To blow them out with all your force,
      We know you can do it, of course!

      Another year older, but that's just fine,
      I'm glad it's your birthday, not mine!
      So blow out those candles with glee,
      Happy birthday, from me to thee!



    45. Memories Fade
      Poet: C.A. Lynch

      As we grow older, our memories fade
      But your birthday is a date that you cannot evade
      You might forget where you put your phone
      But your birthday is forever etched in stone.

      So let's celebrate and raise a cheer
      For you, my dear, your big day is here.
      Even if you forget what day it may be
      Your birthday is one thing that sticks with me!



    46. Laughter And Happiness
      Poet: Tom S. Gold

      You might as well smile, or else you could cry
      You can be down or you can be high
      You can slow down or be just as driven
      You see age is just a number given
      On this birthday we wish for you
      Laughter, happiness not down and blue.
