Friend Birthday Poems

Friend Birthday Poems
Life is like a bouquet
And a friend is like a flower
That blooms and grows in beauty
With the sunshine and the shower

And like the bouquet's blossoms
A Friendship flower grows more sweet
When watched and tended carefully
By those who chance to meet

Many years ago such a seed of friendship 
Was planted deep and true
And a friend bloomed and flourished
And that, my friend, is you.

Happy Bloomday, flower

Verse #2
If I'm in heaven and you're not there
I'll carve your name on the golden chair
For all the angels there to see
That I love you and you love me.
If you're not there on Judgment Day
I'll know you've gone the other way.
I'll give the angels back their wings
Golden halos and other things.
And just to prove my love is true,
I'll go to hell - just for you!

Happy Birthday, buddy

 

The path to a
friends house
is never long

 

If friends were flowers
...I'd pick you

 

Its hard to find a greeting,
Nice enough to send to you,
For you're so very special
That the usual ones won't do -
But this one seems just perfect,
For it really makes it clear
That you're close in thought,
not now and then,
But all throughout the year!
Happy Birthday

Friend Birthday Poems

 

Just like bright and lovely flowers
may joy fill your birthday hours.
Whatever gifts you're hoping for
wishing you all those and more.
Love and laughter all day through
shared with friends and family too.
A day that makes you realise
you're special, in the whole world's eyes!

With Love
on your
Birthday

 

A special birthday for a special friend
I hope to get this to rhyme
That'll be the day you say
I say it's about bloody time.

So with no further ado
May your day be full of love
And happiness and health
With blessings from above.
Have a fabulous Birthday!

 

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you.
And share with you it's beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own.
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea.
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me,

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be...what I know best,
a friend that's always there.

Khahlil Gibran said that

With Love
on your
Birthday

I said that

 

Friends will come and friends will go, even best friends.
The seasons change and it will show,
I will age and so will you,
But our friendship stays, strong and true.

And talking about ageing
Happy Birthday, friend

 

Best Friend Birthday Poems

Make new friends
But keep the old
One is sliver and the other gold

Happy Birthday Golden One

 

A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift,
A friend is someone we treasure
For our friendship is a gift,
A friend is someone who fills our lives
With Beauty, Joy, and Grace
And makes the world we live in
A Better and Happier Place.

 

I get by with a little help from my friends.
Said John Lennon 
And me. Happy Birthday

 

God knew what He was doing 
when He sent a gentle breeze 
and brought a beautiful butterfly 
to set my heart at ease.
The happiness of your friendship
and the gentleness of your words
have touched my life in a special way and now I feel assured.
Thank you for your encouragement
and your thoughtfulness too
God knew what He was doing
when He sent me a friend like you.

 

You are my friend of friends, my confidant,
my closest companion
You are the one I turn to for comfort when my heart is heavy
and the first one I run to when I have good news to share.
Through seasons and years, you've grown nearer to my heart,
and I want you always to know, my friend, how much
I love you.

 

Happiness keeps you sweet,
Trials keep you strong,
Sorrows keep you human,
Failures keep you humble,
Success keeps you glowing,

But ..only friends ...
keep you going!

Happy Birthday My Friend

 

It takes a long time to grow an old friend
So Happy Birthday you old fart
We've been around for a good many years
Too obstinate to part.

And, but us two didn't want to, too

J.B. 2008

 

Birthday Poems for Friends

Friendship is a ship big enough to carry two in fair weather,
but only one in foul;
In some cases that's true Ambrose Bierce who wrote that
Can't have had a friend like you!

Happy Birthday My Friend

 

f I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be all alone.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But I can say happy birthday,
To my friend who's always there.

Happy, happy birthday

 

I believe in Angels 
These helpers who are near.
Exactly when you need them, 
They seem to just appear....

I know them when I see them, 
Whatever their disguise,
They're patient and encouraging Respectful, kind and wise...

Yes, I believe in angels 
The sort heaven might send,Better yet, I've got you around
The angel I call my friend

Have a birthday fit for one

 
❤ Friend Birthday Poems 

We've all heard that old saying you can
Choose your friends but not a relation
Well that's because they're more like us
And they don't hold us in captivation.

We can say almost anything
To a friend that's good and true
They don't rush to tell mom and dad
Like bros and sisters do.

MM 2010

 

You are my friend of friends, my confidant, my closest companion
You are the one I turn to for comfort when my heart is heavy
and the first one I run to when I have good news to share.
Through seasons and years, you've grown nearer to my heart,
and I want you always to know, my friend, how much
I love you.

 

Into every life a little rain must fall...
...Call me any time you need an umbrella!
Meanwhile, Happy Birthday

 

God knew what He was doing
When He sent a gentle breeze
And brought a beautiful butterfly
To set my heart at ease.

The happiness of your friendship
And the gentleness of your words
Have touched my life in a special way
And now I feel assured.

Thank you for your encouragement
And your thoughtfulness too
God knew what He was doing
When He sent me a friend like you.

Have a Wondrous Birthday

Friend Birthday Poems

Friends are those rare people who ask how you are 
And then wait for the answer.
I'm fine
How are you (Helen)?

 

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. 
If you want to cry, your shoulder I'll be. 
If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. 
But if you need a friend, I'll just be me.

A friend accepts us as we are 
yet helps us to be what we should.

 

Angels lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly

(Margaret) you've been an angel
Such support, an aide, a crutch
A friend, not just in fair weather but foul
And I'm grateful ever so much

Jessica Browne © 2007

 

Faithful, kind and always true
Reassuring through and through
Insightful in your wise advice
Enthusiastic, sweet and nice
Noted for your smiling face
Dear friend, no one could take your place

A very Happy Birthday

❤ Friend Birthday Poems 

Oh the comfort,the inexpressible
Comfort of feeling safe with friends
Having neither to weigh
Thoughts, nor measured words,
But to pour them all out

 

Just as they are
Chaff and grain together
Knowing that a faithful hand
Will take and sift them,
Keeping what is worth keeping
and then with a breath of kindness
Blow the rest away

 
Friend Birthday Poems

It's such a lovely thing for me
To have you (Jane)as a friend
You're someone who understands us
On whom I can depend

You see and know my faults
And like me anyway
And you never seem to take offence
At anything I say

Your friendship is a precious gift
And I will always treasure
You, (Jane) who shares my grief, my joy
My heartache and my pleasure

Have a really lovely Birthday

Your birthday is a perfect time
To stop and reminisce
About the many hours we've spent
Discussing that and this-

The laughs, the smiles that we have known
The wonderful things we've done
That make the friendship that we share
A very special one!

Happy Birthday, my special friend

 

We're not really sisters
But we/re sisters of the heart
And nothing shall ever 
Tear our friendship apart

They say that gems are priceless
And i guess that is true
But our friendship is PRICELESS
I can't imagine life without you.

It's good to have friends
Friends who care,
Friends who you know 
Will always be there 

When you need them,
And never complain,
When you tell the same story
Again and again.

Happy Birthday, my friend

❤ Friend Birthday Poems 

We've been close friends
Since we were quite small
We're friends who accept each other
Warts an'all 

The memories we share
Of times that are past
Means friendship between us
Will always last.

A very Happy Birthday, my treasured friend

 

Some of the happiest times of my life 
Are times you and I spend together.
For deep in my heart I've considered you special-
One of my dearest friends ever...

Time after time I've enjoyed your nice company,
Warmed by your closeness we share,
And when there were days
That I needed encouragement,
I knew you'd always be there…

Time and again I've been ever so grateful
For having a good friend like you-
A friend for all times,
To confide in, to count on, and treasure
A whole lifetime through.

You're a friend
For all times

If you planted hope today
In any hopeless heart
If someone's burden was lighter
Because you did your part

If you made someone laugh out loud
And kept their tears at bay
Then today has been for you my friend
A very special day

Have a very special birthday
My very special friend

Friendship is for young and old
Precious like a pot of gold;
Friendship is a sunny day,
As fresh and sweet as new mown hay;

Friendship comforts in the night
Like a star that's shining bright;
Friendship is a gently thing,
Soft as a dove that's on the wing;

Friendship is a joy to see
And is the bond twix you and me;
Friendship is there for all to find,
The secret saviour of mankind

(Brian Hope Gent)

 

When you're lonely
I wish you love.
When you're down
I wish you joy
When you're troubled
I wish you peace
When things are complicated
I wish you simple beauty
When things look empty
I wish you hope.

❤ Friend Birthday Poems 

May there always be work for your hands to do
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your window pane
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you
Their hearts full of warmth and gladness to cheer you

Irish Toast

 

I thank you God sincerely for the friends I have today
And all that they have done for me to help me on the way
I thank you that I met them in fellowship and cheer
And that in time of need and stress they always have been near
I thank you for my faithfull friends in places near and far
Whose kindly deeds have made my days as fruitful as they are
Whose happy songs have done so much to make my dreams come true
And who, by their example, Lord, have drawn me close to you.

 

Take a cup of patience
And a big heartful of love
Add a bowl of generosity
To blend with the above;
Put in a dash of laughter
And some understanding too
Sprinkle it with kindness
And memories old and new.
Add some faith before you mix it
Till the dish is rich and sweet
Then enjoy a heaped up portion
With everyone you meet!

(Found in an old cookery book)

 

I'd give up chocolate today
But as you well know, friend
I'm no quitter!

 

Irish Blessing

May you always have work for your hands to do
May your pockets hold always a coin or two
May the sun shine bright on your window pane
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
And may God fill your heart and gladness to cheer you

 

Friends care
Friends share
We need friends
Everywhere

❤ Friend Birthday Poems 

A friend is someone who is there no matter what
Someone who gives advice, NOT tells you what to do
A friend is a shoulder to lean on, a hand to hold
A friend doesn't have to look or act or dress a certain way
The only thing that matters is what's on the inside.

Sarah Hinton

 

The S.S. Friendship sails the sea
Of life and hopes to steer
A steady course, where there may be
Horizons bright and clear.

It's always keen to have on board
A willing entourage
Aware of storms, but can afford
To shout, "Bon Voyage"

J.M. Robertson

 

Good friends never say goodbye - they simply say "see you soon"

Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly

 

Angels have wings
Those without are friends
.....Like you

 

From quiet homes and first beginning
Out to the undiscovered ends
There's nothing worth the wear of winning
But laughter and the love of friends.

Hilaire Belloc

This birthday card is sent today
And I hope it's plain to see
You're a very special person
Who means so much to me

We've been friends for many years
I'm sure you'll agree
We couldn't have known when we met
Just what friends we'd be

But it happened and I'm grateful
And this card is sent to say
To me you're very special
So enjoy your special day

Poem About Friends
by william jay greve
(oscoda michigan)


Friends are like movies,
Sometimes they're good and sometimes they're bad.
The best friends always have your back 
In anything that you can't deal with yourself. 
And just friends will help you with some things 
But they're not like your best friend

You are 
The pop to my tart 
The ice to my pop 
The ice to the cream 
The page to my book 
The baby to my sitter 
The apple to my juice 
But most of all you are 
The best to my friend 
love you

Her name is (Maria)
and is splendid to have her in my year!
