Teens and Tweens

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to a special girl
Who has grown up before our eyes
That you have turned out so beautifully
Is certainly no surprise.
Your parents have tried to lead you
In a path so straight and true
That they feel confident
Of the wonderful things you'll do.
There is so much yet to see
And so many places to go
But no matter where life takes you
You will always continue to grow.
Grow in the wisdom of the Lord
Who has brought you to this place today
And enjoy the gift of friends who love you
And parents who for you daily pray.
Our hopes and dreams are with you
And you are surrounded by friends who care
We pray that your heart will be full of joy
With an abundance of love to share.
I can not promise you a life free of worry
Nor can I say it will be free of care
But place your future in God's Almighty Hands
And always handle life with prayer.
Happy Birthday to a wonderful young lady.

Happy 16th Birthday Son

This card isn't pretty
This card isn't funny
It doesn't have car keys attached
And it has no money!
So, don't shake it
In hopes that money will fall out
There is no secret code
Of that, please have no doubt.
I had so many wishes for you
As you turn sixteen years old-
That the hundreds of wishes
Were all this card could hold!

My Sixteenth Birthday Request

It’s my birthday
And my top request by far
Would be to receive for a gift
My very own car!
I dream about it often
In the middle of the night
A shinny new automobile
Preferably something bright.
I would be so happy
And I hope this doesn’t sound mean-
But if you buy me car
Could you include a full tank of gasoline?

Your eighteenth birthday is special
For society says you are now grown up
So congratulations and Happy Birthday
From someone who has known you
Since you were just a pup!

More Sixteen Verses

Boy Birthday (sixteen)
Balloons say Celebrate in Style
And have a happy day!
But there is more inside my heart
That a balloon can't say!
I could use the entire dictionary
And a thesaurus buy
Stacking up good wishes
Until they reach the sky!
But still I would not be able
To say it strong as I would like to say
Happy Birthday to my wonderful son
And have a simply awesome day!

Just a little note to say
I'm so proud of you each day.
You are always my steady right hand-
a kind, caring, compassionate young man.
I know that in the future you will continue to be
all that you can be
And know that as I watch you grow
I'm so happy that you belong to our family!

Happy Birthday Son

I know that guys don't like Cards
that are full of mush
And they usually don't want
To hear their mothers gush.
So I'm trying to keep it simple
And not sound cheesy to your friends
But send a little verse to you
That might furnish a few grins.
So I'm just telling you that you are special-
That you deserve a wonderful day
And hidden in this little card
I'm sending lots of love your way!
And if your friends don't see this card
And read your birthday wishes
Then they will have no idea
That it's filled with hugs and kisses!!

I just have to say
My baby turns 16 today!
His face would turn the brightest red
If he heard all the things I've said
About how he is wonderful and unique
And would ask me not to speak.
But Sometimes a mother
(Not intending to be a drag)
About her son
Just has to brag!

Birthday Son
A mother always remembers
Every phase of a son's growing up
From the time you played in the yard
Much like a happy little pup.
The todder years went zooming past
And soon you were a teen
With each day filled with promise
And now you are sixteen!
I pray for you a future
Full of joy and happiness
For if you find in life contentment
Then you will have found success!

Today is your birthday
And a very special one
That's why I made this little card
To say I'm glad that you're my son.
If I could search the wide world over
I know for sure it's true
That of all the young men anywhere
The one I would choose is you.
Enjoy this birthday and celebrate with joy
And with your friends have fun
I pray for happiness for your special day today
And for the years and years to come!
