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!
-
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!

A Birthday Wish
Poet: C. A. Lynch
A birthday wish with humor and glee,
Celebrate the day, let your spirit roam free.

With every joke, let your happiness grow.

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

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.

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.

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!
-
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!
-
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!
-
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.
-
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!
-
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?
-
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.

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!
-
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.

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.
-
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!

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!
-
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.

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!
-
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!
-
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.

-
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!
-
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!
-
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."
-
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!
-
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!
-
Your Secial Day
Poet: C.A. Lynch

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!

With each passing year, you're like fine wine.

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,

So blow out those candles with glee,
Happy birthday, from me to thee!
-
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!

Laughter And Happiness
Poet: Tom S. Gold
You might as well smile, or else you could cry

You see age is just a number given

Laughter, happiness not down and blue.
