Help and Inspiration for Birthday Verses, Poems and Messages

Finding birthday verses to express your birthday greeting can be a tough job.

Putting together birthday card verses and thinking of the something suitable off the cuff leaves many people stuck for words.

A birthday card represents your birthday message of good will to a friend, relative, loved one or colleague.

They make us feel good about ourselves, with often a thought about the coming year and what's important.

Hand writing a personal message in a card shows you care enough to write more than just Happy Birthday!

Here is a gathering of free birthday verses for birthday cards, messages and poems that I hope will inspire you...feel free to amend or adapt how you like.

The following are some verses for birthday cards that I wrote for friends and family, and further down are some quick birthday one liners...

With great regret I can't be there,

So I penned this poem to show I care,

Wishing you all that you wish for your self,

Friendship, happiness, wealth and health.

The Birthday Poem

Born on Monday,

Fair in face;

Born on Tuesday,

Full of God's grace;

Born on Wednesday,

Sour and sad;

Born on Thursday,

Merry and glad;

Born on Friday,

Worthily given;

Born on Saturday,

Work hard for your living;

Born on Sunday,

You will never know want.
