Happy Birthday…
On this day and all that follow,
may you have the strength to follow your heart
and the courage to fight for your dreams;
May you always be true to yourself
and may your soul feel inspired;
And, may you always feel blessed by grace
and surrounded by hope,
never feeling alone
and always knowing that you are loved.

Happy Birthday, verse # 25
Happy Birthday…
There once was a time, a long time ago,
when we were perplexed by the thought of getting old,
then there came a day, then there came a year,
when we realized we were getting older, old was getting near,
now we are old, another birthday arrives,
and we realize how blessed we are to have had such a life,
a life filled with laughter, some joy, some tears,
and a life that has lasted for years upon years,
so this is your day, another milestone has come,
and I wish you a happy day with more yet to come.

Happy Birthday, verse # 24
Happy Birthday…
A birthday is like a treasure,
a monument to life
to remind us of our fortunes and our deeds,
a testament not made of stone
where our history is written with invisible ink,
a substance made of memories and emotions,
with words engraved by the hands of time
that also direct us toward the future,
of life to come,
and shows us all a treasured respect for life.

Happy Birthday…
May your birthday and each day that follows bring you sunny days with blue skies and red birds brightening the landscape with their beauty and happy singing, laughter that comes from the heart and reminds you of the simplicity of childhood innocence, and joy that fills your soul with prisms of light, contentment, and peace.

Happy Birthday, verse # 22
Happy Birthday…
On your birthday,
I wanted to take a moment to tell you
how much I enjoy having you in my life.
You’ve taught by example about
the joy of giving and the peace of compassion and the power of hope.
You’ve willingly shared your smiles, your laughter, your heart, and your time,
and these have become blessings for others.
For your birthday,
I hope the love and happiness that you have shared with others over the years
returns to you… multiplied.

Happy Birthday…
Your birthday is my chance to tell you
that in the time I have known you
I have seen someone grow in maturity,
in intellect, and in spirituality.
I have seen someone accept responsibility
for their own personal growth
and succeed in meeting the challenge head on.
I have seen someone learn who she is
and someone who has learned to be proud of herself.
I am very proud of you.
Your achievements have been great and
you are deserving, at the very least, of the
most wonderful birthday.
May your birthday and every day
be filled with happiness and laughter.

Thanks for being a friend
Thanks for being a friend….
A real friend is someone that you can talk with
as if you’ve just spoken only a few moments earlier
and are simply picking up in the middle of a conversation
even though much time has passed since contact was made.
A real friend is someone in whom you can confide
with your most heartfelt secrets
and trust that they will be stored away in a safe place
and treasured for the confidence they hold within.
A real friend is someone who can help you laugh at yourself
and help you be strong and encourage you to grow,
someone who will be there during the good times and the bad times,
someone who over time becomes family.
A real friend is someone like you.

Thinking of you, verse # 7
Thinking of you...
As we get older, we seem to forget the little things
like picking up a gallon of milk on the way home
or what it was we came into the kitchen to get.
Good thing we remember who are friends are.

Thinking of you (at winter), verse # 6
Happy Winter…
Sitting here, curled up in a cozy blanket,
keeping the chill at bay with its warm layer of memories
that can warm the soul as if sinking the body slowly into
the comfort of a warm bath,
the winter is seen through the window;
Sitting here, looking through the window
and remembering the winters that have passed,
remembering the snow falling quietly as if
each flake were an angel coming to Earth from Heaven
to spread the joy of the winter season,
the fire begins to glow in anticipation of the winter arrival.
Sitting here, as the fire shares its golden light with the room,
quietly telling tales of beautiful snowfalls and romantic dreams
and gentle laughter, the walls softly reflect the shimmer of light
as if responding to the tale being told, adding to the conversation
their own tales, legends it would seem,
of snow blanketing the world with hope and peace.
In this winter wonderland of memories of laughter,
of hope for a blessed season for all,
of wishes for hearts to experience the serenity of peace this winter,
while sitting here, thinking of you,
the snow begins to fall.

Happy New Year, verse # 5
Let this be the year…
You’ve spent so much of life running, climbing, winning, doing for others, and living life too fast to notice that life is passing you by.
Let this be the year to listen to the wind chimes gently sing outside the window beneath a sun of golden rays, let this be the year to begin to see the colors of life around you, the passionate reds and the healing blues, let this be the time to taste the drops falling from the sky as you dance in the rain, let this be when you feel the power of the heartbeat within you.

Listen to the voice within, though the smallest of a whisper it may be,
for angels will speak words of hope in moments of silence,
encouraging you forward and strengthening your spirit
as they keep the light of tomorrow lit brightly in your soul.

Let the dream guide the way
Dream…
The only known is the here and now,
tomorrow a mystery yet to be,
live for today and plan for tomorrow,
let your guide be the dream,
learn from the past,
only a heartbeat away,
unable to be recaptured,
from attempts turn away,
live in each breath,
in each moment, each day,
the Sun shall encourage,
let the dream guide the way.

Don’t give up…
When the mountain seems too jagged and each step too steep,
keep moving, climbing higher and higher,
each step a bit closer to the summit,
each obstacle overcome a lesson learned for later use,
and, in time, though some lengths may be more difficult than others,
you’ll reach the pinnacle, you’ll find the dream,
and you’ll stand on the tallest peak,
looking about at all you’ve accomplished, and know
you’ve made it, you’ve earned it, and you deserve it all.

Time has come and time has gone
but the laughter has remained,
and in the memories we have shared
the smiles never fade,
and in the time that is yet to be,
more joy we shall make,
as my heart shall grow to love you more,
I love you now and always.

Congratulations on your new baby…
Count ten little fingers
then count ten little toes,
study his eyes
and then decide whose nose,
he has a tiny heart
but an enormous soul,
inside a tiny body
that, over time, will grow
into a man on a journey,
making a life of his own
and basing his actions
on memories of home,
so, love him dear,
godliness sow
and time will tell
of the love he was shown.

Easter, verse # 3
Happy Easter…
We weren’t there to see the thorns,
we weren’t there to hear the crowd,
we weren’t there to feel the pain,
we weren’t there to shout His name,
we never saw the stone,
moved in or out of place,
and we never saw the cloak,
that draped across his face,
but now we sing the songs
and recite the poems
and speak the words,
and now we know the name
and know the ways
of a voice we never heard,
but believe,
yes, believe,
we weren’t there to see ascension,
we weren’t there when He awoke,
we weren’t there when books were written,
we weren’t there to hear the words,
but believe,
yes, we believe,
and we give thanks,
and we have hope,
and we have faith,
and we celebrate,
and we believe.

Easter, verse # 2
Happy Easter…
Somewhere between creating boiled eggs with pastel colors topped with artistic designs
and hiding them out in the yard for the kids to find;
Somewhere between creating Easter baskets filled with marshmallow birds and chocolate bunnies, situated in green plastic grass and wrapped in clear paper tied with colorful ribbon;
Somewhere between school parties and town parades and spring carnivals,
we look to the sky and remember,
and our hearts sing because He lives.

Happy Easter… (The Lily)
In the garden of life there is a flower,
a flower of beauty, a flower of peace,
with petals of innocence
meant to trumpet the news,
carrying the fragrance of hope
across the meadows of time.

Merry Christmas, verse # 14
Merry Christmas…
As the snow gently falls on the rooftops up above
and the streets are lit in red and gold and green,
as the snowmen and the reindeer and the Santas wave from lawns
and the angel glows from atop the Christmas tree,
as the lights twinkle silent melodies around ornaments of ol’
and the fire warms the light within every soul,
may you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too
and may each day grant peace and happiness to you.

Congratulations on your new baby...
When you were born, the angels blessed me with the greatest gift---the gift of being allowed to mother such a beautiful spirit as you.
Though I was the parent, over the years you have taught me so much about loving, giving, sharing, helping me to appreciate the warmth of playful sunny days and the vigor of snowflakes upon my skin and reminding me of the joy in life, the joy within each breath.
I am so grateful that you are my daughter and I want you to know that my greatest wish for you is that you will know the same joy that you have always given me.

Hear her small heart beating strongly

as you study the face you’ve known for months
but never seen until this moment,
and you’ll understand why life is a miracle.

always cherish this gift you have received,

Merry Christmas, verse # 12
Merry Christmas…
Impatient packages beneath a tree of green,
wrapped in pretty paper tied with bows or tied with string,
lights along the hearth give the room a pretty glow,
the angel upon the treetop is dressed in silver and in gold,
the cat is pawing gently at the tinsel hanging loosely from the tree,
but then climbs upon the packages and quickly falls asleep,
and what the cat shall dream of, humans never know,
but could it be he dreams of treats wrapped in packages with bows,
and when you smile at the beauty of your Christmas tree of green,
and see impatient packages tied with ribbon or with string,
what is it that you wish for in your heart and in your soul,
as you wish upon the pretty lights that give the room a glow,
so write it down on paper, fold it up, make a hole for string,
then hang it near the Santa Claus upon the tree of green,
and whisper it to the angel dressed in silver and in gold,
as the lights along the hearth give the room a pretty glow,
and have faith that you shall receive all your Christmas dreams,
and that you’ll find your heart’s desire on this Christmas Eve.

Grandparent’s Day…
You give me hugs and kisses and birthday wishes
and cookies and candy and cake when I visit,
we play in the dirt and we play in the water
and if my clothes get dirty, it’s really no bother,
you don’t get upset, I don’t get in trouble,
I don’t take a nap, you don’t tell my mother,
that’s why you’re my favorite, you’re better than the rest,
you’re my favorite grandparents, and I love you the best.

With words of wisdom and gentle embraces, you were there when I felt I could talk to no one else and when I needed a shoulder on which to cry. With a loving guidance tempered with experience and discipline, you helped me find my way from childhood to now. No one could ever ask for a greater gift than all of the affection and knowledge you have shared with me through the years. By your light, I have been truly blessed.

Pinch pennies for rainy days, be careful where you place the eggs,
hold your head up high, don’t live life too close to the edge,
do right by your name, be proud of your past,
lend a helping hand, always do your best,
just a few of the lessons you’ve taught me through time
and I need to say Thank You for influencing my life
with love and with kindness, humanity and grace,
all that you taught me helped me to become who I am today.

You bring me candy when you come to visit, with hugs and kisses, too,
and I don’t have to eat any vegetables when I spend the night with you,
and we play games together, (Don’t worry, I’ll let you win a few),
whenever we’re together, there’s always something fun to do,
we laugh and play but then you go and they make me take a nap,
how mean they are, I know there’d no nap at Grandma’s house,
but next time that you visit, be sure to bring a treat,
some sweet piece of candy with love meant just for me.

The world keeps spinning ‘round, seasons come and go,
can you hear the broken-hearted angels’ tears crying for the world,
but we can heal their heartbreak, we can save our planet’s path
by changing how we live each day, just by doing what we can,
plant a tree, grow a flower, conserve, recycle, or reuse,
so that the world keeps spinning ‘round for future souls to use,
so that they’ll have fields of green, clean rivers and clean lakes,
the future will be protected if wise choices we will make,
so that the world keeps spinning ‘round, seasons come and go,
and we’ll hear the joyful-hearted angels singing to the world.

At the start of spring,
coming with the flowers and the rain,
is a day of pranks and jests,
but take this as true,

and hope that your day is spent
with loved ones and with friends
in a fun-filled sunny day,
with blissful peace,
and sweet memories
on this foolish April Day.

Happy April Fools Day…
There have been days
when people have claimed
to have changed math or maps,
all just in fun,
no harm meant done,
just a joke meant to bring on a laugh,
and some have tried
with screams or with cries
to convince another to run
to an address not existing,
they just couldn’t resist it,
on this day meant for fools and for fun,
but don’t bother to worry,
you won’t have to scurry,
for I’ll neither trick you nor fool,
I just wanted to tell you
that I happen to wish you
the happiest of all April Fools.

just a joke meant to bring on a laugh,
and some have tried
with screams or with cries
to convince another to run
to an address not existing,
they just couldn’t resist it,
on this day meant for fools and for fun,
but don’t bother to worry,
you won’t have to scurry,
for I’ll neither trick you nor fool,
I just wanted to tell you
that I happen to wish you
the happiest of all April Fools.
April Fools, verse # 2
Happy April Fools Day…
For centuries, at the start of spring,
when the flowers begin to bloom,
some souls take pride in a ritual
of playing jokes on fools,
but when all is said and done
and laughter has ended the game,
the ones at risk of looking the fool
are the ones who play the pranks,
so with all in mind on this April day,
the wish I wish for you,
on the first, this day of hoax,
is a safe and happy April Fool’s.

April Fools, verse # 1
April Fool’s Day…
No jokes, no puns,
no pranks just for fun,
no tricks, no lies, no stunts,
no gags this day,
no fool to play,
just wishing you lots of luck
in staying away from antics,
in staying away from ghouls,
and wishing for you that on this day you’ll have
a carefree and happy April Fools.

St. Patrick's Day, verse # 5
Happy St. Patrick’s Day…
May you find four-leaf clovers before each step
and a leprechaun at your table,
may you find heavenly rainbows and pots of gold
and angels always able,
may you have sunny days and peaceful nights
and wishes that come true,
and may St. Patrick bless you much
and always watch over you.

St. Patrick's Day, verse # 4
Happy St. Patrick’s Day…
In dreams,
sail toward the isle,
walk along the rocks,
feel the mist from off the waters,
in dreams,
let the northern winds embrace you,
the southern winds shall warm,
feel the mist from off the waters,
in dreams,
feel the cloak pulled tight around you,
the ground is damp beneath your feet,
feel the mist from off the waters,
in dreams,
stand upon the highlands,
on the isle, home again,
feel the mist from off the waters,
in dreams.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day…
The color of the day is green and fertility shall reign

St. Patrick's Day, verse # 2
Happy St. Patrick’s Day…
Leprechauns dance around with grins,
pots of gold within their reach,
the end of the rainbow is glowing,
and as they dance they sing,
a key to dreams is in their hands,
a key that holds the magic,
but you must catch the leprechaun
to catch the key that has it,
close your eyes, pass through the veil,
the nightfall, it shall lead,
the leprechauns are dancing
in a world of make believe,
and as they dance around and grin,
drinking pints there near the gold,
singing songs of merriment
there where the rainbow glows,
they hear your step along the stones,
a golden path that led you here,
but no luck in grabbing key or gold,
when they heard you they disappeared,
but never give up hope or heart,
always keep the faith,
the leprechauns will wait again for you,
they like to play this game,
maybe, someday, you’ll cross the veil,
a four-leaf clover on your ring,
sneak upon the little leprechauns
as they dance and sing,
catching one near a pot of gold,
he’ll give you his magic key,
every wish you make, you shall have,
the leprechaun shall make it be.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day…
On this day of frolic and fun
may St. Patrick himself watch over you,
showing you fields of shamrocks to walk through
while protecting you from the serpent
as you breathe peacefully beneath the sign of the cross.

Happy Valentine’s Day…
Once upon a time, a long time ago,
a God was born to govern love.
With his arrows and his bow
Eros filled hearts with romance
and stomachs with butterflies
and heads with dreams,
bringing soulmates together
for harmony and happiness.
I feel so fortunate that he smiled favorably on us.

Happy Valentine's Day, verse # 1
Happy Valentine’s Day…
As the world decorates itself with papier-mâché hearts
and balloons painted with arrow wielding cherubs,
as it flavors boxes of chocolates with love
and wraps teddy bears in bows of red,
I am reminded of how you have brightened my life with your spirit
and decorated my world with joy.

Happy Anniversary, verse # 12
Happy Anniversary…
Writers have tried to describe it in verse and in prose,
this feeling that begins as the sweetest little twinge
and grows over time into something magnificently unique,
overwhelming at times, subtle at others, but always present,
as I look back over the years we’ve been together,
sorting through boxes of memories, smiles and tears,
I grin when I remember that sweet little twinge that started it all,
and I feel grateful joy when I think of all that it’s grown to be.

Happy Anniversary…
In the autumn of our life,
I look back and remember our beginnings,
humble as they were but sweetened with the taste of promise
and blessed with tomorrows,
and as our tomorrows became our yesterdays
and promises came to pass,
we loved and we grew,
reaching this wonderful place in our life together
where we can look back at our yesterdays with learning and fondness,
celebrating each day,
and looking forward to the winter of our life together
and the promises of tomorrows yet to be.

Happy Anniversary…
Congratulations on your anniversary,
to a couple who has set an enlightening example
of what it means to be married, to share a life with someone,
to build a legacy, a family,
strengthened by time, nourished by respect,
and surrounded with love.

Happy Anniversary, verse # 9
Happy Anniversary…
Looking about this house, one can see the life from the past (insert # of years) years in the memories hanging on the walls, photographs of the years gone by, children and grandchildren, graduations and weddings, faces aging through laughter and smiles, sunny days and snow storms, fashion trends and hair styles. And woven through them all, in this tapestry of family and friends, are photographs of the two of you, together, with a gleam in your eyes meant only for each other.

Happy Anniversary…
Through the passage of time you have traveled together,
through peaceful waters and over stormy seas,
holding fast to each other and
holding tight to your faith,
trusting God would oversee your journey,
knowing when to drop the anchor or sail toward the horizon;
Over time you have learned the lessons of sailing,
of trusting the compass, of minding the wheel,
and of balancing upon the waves of life;
And together you’ll hoist the sails,
continuing to travel into the future
with God as your Captain,
and with love in your sails.

Happy Birthday, verse # 20
Happy Birthday…
Birthdays are a map through a life full of treasure,
each celebration leading us to another locked box
that can only be opened with the heart,
a box containing a smile or a laugh or a hug,
a box containing a memory in the making,
or a memory past,
and when our life nears the end,
the treasures within the invisible boxes
are worth more than silver and gold.

Happy New Year…
Raise a glass in celebration,
speak a toast in honor of
a new time, a new chance,
a new year just begun.
Let’s begin with laughter
and as the year goes by
we’ll take a risk or two
to help our dreams come to life.
So, from one friend to another
my wish for you is clear
that you shall see your dreams come true
and make this the best New Year.

Merry Christmas, verse # 11
Merry Christmas…
To the north, a guiding star,
to the south, a humble place to rest,
from the east, the wisdom of sages,
the passing of one era setting in the west,
celebrate the coming,
a new beginning with a birth,
a celebration across the world,
to remind us of our worth,
let the bells ring out the spirit of the season,
let the stars direct us from high above,
let us join in the celebration,
and spread good tidings to the world.

Trees adorned with velvet red ribbons and golden bells,
gifts wrapped in silver and green,
candles aglow with a bright warm flame,
and angels about, yet unseen;
Christmas is here and a spirit lives on
of joy, good tidings, and cheer,
a reminder of peace, all things that are good
and the hope that comes this time of year;
So, with faith, hope, and love we send this to you,
a wish that you may warm cooler days
with laughter and moments with family and friends
and treasured memories that will last for always.

Winter, verse # 1
Happy Winter…
Did you see the snowman winking from behind a peppermint eye?
Can you feel the chill of winter winds sending snowflakes from the sky?
Did the reindeer in the front yard just sing a little tune?
Did you just see a smile cross the face of a big, bright moon?
Well then it must be winter, a little magic in the air,
to help us enjoy the season, there’s excitement everywhere,
a chill invigorates the senses, then the fire warms the soul,
and we all seem kinder to each other as through our days we go,
so have a happy winter, I wish you lots of fun,
and remember not to be alarmed if the moon winks from up above.

Just to say Hi, verse # 3
I hope you have…
I hope you have one of those days when you begin thinking about your favorite song and then, suddenly, it’s played on the radio.
I hope you have one of those days when the temperature outside is not too hot and not too cold, but just perfect for a stroll through beautiful scenery.
I hope you have one of those days that seem easy and bright, when things fall into place and your life seems at peace, traveling into the future at a comfortable pace and in an inspiring direction.
I hope you have one of those good days that you’ll remember always.

My prayer for you, my daughter…
I pray that you will grow to feel
a sense of worth
and a sense of responsibility in the world,
I pray that you will know
the blessings of love and family
and grow to learn the value of each,
I pray that God shall watch over you,
keeping you safe
and that you’ll recognize the safety of his lighthouse
in the center of your soul,
I hope that you shall live life with courage,
unafraid to take a risk from time to time
in the search for love or dreams,
And, I pray that you will greet life each day
with peacefulness and joy
and that both shall return to you three-fold.

Hope, verse # 2
Remember that angels hover over the world,
quietly gliding around city streets and country towns,
whispering into the hearts of mankind words of hope
and softly singing songs of peace to whomever will listen,
guiding our footsteps into the future
with gentle persuaders of dreams, cautioning us of doubt,
and humming promises of a brighter tomorrow,
carefully softening our thoughts into positives
as we live through each day with the hope from the angels
hovering about us and wishing us well.

Hope, verse # 1
Hope…
Hope is the hand to lead you, a quiet voice to guide,
blowing a gentle breeze towards the sky to clear the clouds and let the sun shine in;
Hope is the sword forged in the heart, cutting through a web of darkness,
a blade sharpened by rays of light after use against the cold and lost night;
Hope is above and within and surrounding,
enveloping the spirit with encompassing arms to comfort souls on the journey of life.

A summer wish for you…
May you have the time to walk in the light of the sun, feeling the warmth of its rays embrace you as the scent of honeysuckle on the breeze allows your mind to drift back in time to dreams you knew long ago, filling your senses with courage and confidence, and leading your steps with certainty toward the future.
