Say it in many ways, but be sure to say "Happy Birthday."
When most people celebrate a birthday, they pay attention to the birthday greetings they receive. Send a friend, loved one or family member a birthday greeting that will ease the passing years with humor, affirmation, religious or biblical-based sentiment. Take advantage of poets who have marked birthdays with inimitable lines. Let the birthday person inspire you to create your own birthday greeting. Integrate grand romantic, religious, Bible-themed, poetic or humorous birthday ideas into your oh-so-personal birthday greeting.
Romantic Birthday Greetings
Let birthday candles inspire a birthday verse.
Write a birthday greeting love poem. Make it one of your own or "borrow" from one of the great poets. Quote the love poem, "Desire" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, cited by Poetry Online.
"When true love burns Desire is Love's pure flame."
Use Coleridge's evocative language as part of a romantic birthday greeting. Add, for instance,
As you draw in your breath
to blow out your birthday candles,
remember that my "Desire is Love's pure flame"
And burns brighter and hotter
than all the candles on your birthday cake.
Happy birthday, my love"
Religious Birthday Greetings
Rely upon your religious persuasion to add appropriate focus on someone's birthday. Write a birthday greeting rejoicing that God has blessed you with life. Pen a simple line expressing your shared devotion. BirthdayMessages.com offers suggestions such as:
"As God adds life to your years, may He add years to your life. Happy Birthday!" and
"No sorrows to depress you, only shadows to surround you, God himself to bless you. Happy Birthday!"
Use a Biblical verse for a religious birthday greeting. The website Top Bible Verses supplies a list of Bible verses that work for birthday greetings. Write, for example,
""This is the day the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24)
I join you as you rejoice in your birthday
Wishing you blessings
and glad tidings on this day
Happy Birthday to you!
Poetic Birthday Greeting
Poetry uplifts and gives voice to truth and love residing in the human heart. Too often hidden, release your truth and love with a poetic birthday greeting. Quote the poet, Henry Van Dyke, as cited on FamousPoetsandPoems.com.
"I cannot pay my debt
For all the love that she has given;
But Thou, love's Lord, wilt not forget
Her due reward,--bless her in earth and heaven" Add,
I bless you every day
And always bask in the ways you bless me.
Make your birthday a beautiful day.
