Happy Birthday Poem

1. The Candle Year

Another year, another flame,
Lit gently with your smiling name.
The cake is sweet, but not as true
As all the joy that lives in you.

You’ve walked through months both bright and gray,
Still finding reasons every day
To laugh, to give, to light the way—
A gift to those who get to stay.

So here’s a wish, not wrapped or tied,
But spoken softly from inside:
May dreams still grow, and peace unfold,
May love be constant, fierce, and bold.

For birthdays aren’t just marked in time,
They’re songs we sing, a sacred chime—
That once the world was made more wide
The day you stepped into its tide.

2. Wishes in the Wind

Today’s not just a numbered year,
It’s memory, magic, laughs, and cheer.
It’s everything you’ve been and done—
A journey danced beneath the sun.

So let the candles shine with grace,
And let the joy light up your face.
A birthday isn’t just a day—
It’s love that finds a thousand ways.

A toast to you, to all you are,
A constant light, a northern star.
May this new chapter, just begun,
Be filled with warmth and gentle fun.

A cake, a laugh, a wish or two,
A song that sings of all you do—
May this day hold what you adore,
And open wide a brighter door.

The stars all know it’s time to shine,
For joy like yours is rare, divine.
So happy birthday—cheers to you!
To love, to hope, and skies so blue.
