Birthday Blessings
Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
Contemplate your blessings now,
As your birthday nears.
Consider special people
Who love you, and who care,
And others who've enriched your life
Just by being there.
Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are.
Another year is a happy gift,
So cut your cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"
- Joanna Fuchs
Simple Birthday Poem
Once a year I get the chance
To wish you birthday cheer.
It pleases me no end to say,
I wish you another great year.
So happy birthday to you (name),
From the bottom of my heart.
And may your good times multiply,
Till they're flying off the chart!

40th Happy Birthday Rhymes
Birthday Surprise
Happy birthday, who would have thought?
Inside the box, guess what I brought!
I'm sure you'll like it, more as you age,
You are the focus, on center stage.
All these years, memories created,
I did not choose, we're simply related.
Knowing you, like the back of my hand,
Remember the time, we played in the sand?
I picked it myself, decision was clear,
Once you see it, I'm expecting a Cheer!
I know you will need them, on your Adventures,
Inside the box, a new set of dentures!
- Martin Dejnicki
Age and Laughter
Happy birthday, you're not getting old,
Stay in the game, it's not time to fold.
Wrinkles and gray hair, are just a new look,
Countless experiences, you should write in a book.
A birthday is seldom, a serious occasion,
Try not to take it, like the d-day invasion.
Laughter and jokes are within sight,
Stock up on both, all through the night.

Funny Birthday Rhymes
Young at Heart
Happy birthday young at heart,
So many decades, where to start?
With energy, like that pink bunny,
You make us look lazy, that's not funny!
Never-ending old school ways,
Filled with stories, to Amaze!
Listening has been lost with age,
You belong on theater stage.
If you manage to forget,
We'll remind you, don't you fret.
Happy birthday young at heart,
Smile with joy, you old fart.

Careless Birthday
I have known you quite a while,
When you talk, you make me smile.
A special friend, I will probably keep,
If you buy me, a cool jeep.
It's your birthday, I nearly forgot,
Searched online, bought you squat.
Hope you don't turn all bitter,
Since you've never been a quitter.
I nearly quit, writing this verse,
Mind is blank, it's a curse.
Soon, your party will be here,
If I wake up, I'll surely appear.
