First Birthday

Mommy is Crying...First Birthday

There is cake and icecream
And there are presents all wrapped
I've been really good today
I'm all rested and napped.

But mommy has tear stains
All over her cheeks
And her voice comes out shaky
When my mommy speaks...

Why isn't she laughing
Why is Mommy crying today?
Doesn't she remember that
This is my first birthday???

Happy 100th Birthday!

Happy Birthday
What a joyous thing to do--
Celebrate your 100th year with you.
What a wonderful day to celebrate and sing
And pray that happiness this new year brings.
Times have changed since you were a kid
And we love to hear about the things you did.
We love the wonderful stories you tell
And you tell them so very well.
You bring such blessings to our lives
And no better friend could there ever be
So on the occasion of your birthday
I thank God for the dear friend He gave to me!

Today is a Special Day

I awoke with that feeling
That something was in the air-
Something very special
About someone for whom I care.

What could it be that awoke me
From my slumber, oh so sweet?
Well, I remembered it was the birthday
Of someone so wonderfully unique!

I could hardly wait to tell you
And send my wishes on their way
To tell you that I love you
And wish you a Happy Birthday today!

Absent on Birthday

Today was your birthday
And I couldn't be there
But I sent my birthday wishes
And a loving birthday prayer.

Today was your birthday
And I was too far away
To be there to celebrate
Your very special day.

Today was your birthday
And I thought of it all night
As I looked forward to being home again
To make your world seem right.

Missing Your Birthday

I can't be there today
To wish you well
But this card is loaded with
More love than you can tell.

Happy Birthday and best wishes
Hugs and Kisses for you too
I hope that since I can't be there
This little card will do!

Today Was Your Birthday

Today was your birthday
And your family forgot!
You thought they would remember
But they did not!

Today was your special day
And you looked forward to hearing
All of the good birthday wishes
And perhaps a bit of cheering!

You remembered all of their birthdays
And made each one a special card
And now you feel a bit let down
Surely it would not have been too hard...

A simple little telephone call
Or even a note it could have been-
A little boquet from the florist
Or some simple trinket they could send...

But you didn't hear from them
And now you are feeling a bit blue
You say it's not fair but don't dispair
They will remember before the week is through!

Be gracious when they remember
And treat it as a simple lapse of memory
And show them the love and forgiveness
That goes along with being family!

Christmas Birthday -Sister

Christmas Birthday
What a wonderful day
To have a birthday!
It is very special indeed
I wish you joy and happiness
And that in everything you succeed!
Everyone around you will be celebrating
And sharing in the fun of the season
But in your heart you will enjoy knowing
That you have another special reason!
Thena

There's something so special
About being born on Christmas Day
It's so unique and wonderful
That the day choosen to celbrate Jesus's birth
Is the very day that you came into our lives
As the sweetest sister on earth!
Thena

All sisters are wonderful
And each one celebrates their birth
In their own special way.
But how exciting it must be
To see the whole world glowing bright
As they celebrate Christmas
And enjoy each lovely sight.
And just one more perk of this date
So that you will never regret it
Once you tell someone the date
They will never forget it!

Belated Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday …A Wee Bit Late…

Sorry that my wish is late
But please don't worry
Love and prayers and wishes
Are not to be in a hurry!
My wish for you on this special day
And each day the whole year though
Would be that all your fondest dreams
Would finally come true!
May God look upon you
With His love and Grace
And may His loving arms surround
With a warm embrace.
Thena

Happy Belated Birthday!

That this card is late,
It may appear
When in truth, it's early
For your birthday next year!

Thena

Remind Me Please

Don't let me ever forget again (please!)
When your birthday is due
For I never want to miss the fun
Of celebrating that special day with you!
Thena

I wrote the date on my calendar
And circled it in red,
Put a sticker on the book
That I keep beside my bed,
Put the date in my computer
And backed up that PC just in case
That some awful virus
My hard drive might erase!
I put a magnet on my refridge
And I mailed myself a note
And even made a vocal tape
Lest the words stuck in my throat.
But when the day came around at last
And it was time to celebrate
I realized when I wrote out your card
That I had been using the wrong date!
Happy Birthday Anyway!
