Happy Birthday Jann

A friendship such as yours is worth more than precious gems

In comparison, a diamond's lustre fades

All the priceless jewellery in the world cannot compare

You're a treasure, in life's showcase, on display

Within this very industry, involved your working life

Lecturing, you teach Gemmology

Your enthusiasm for your work keeps on shining through

Your extensive knowledge there for all to see

You spend many hours, as a work-a-holic will

Your love of life reflected in your smile

Though you've suffered your fair share of anguish in the past

Now you walk along the golden mile

Compulsively positive, attractive and witty

More tolerant than anyone I know

Your forgiving nature is an asset to behold

You radiate a charming warmth and glow

The words within this verse, my friend, have been composed for you

Expressed in rhyme these words I'd like to say

And that is... Happy Birthday to a very special friend

May the Lord bless you everyday I pray

Best wishes from your friend Toby

This poem was ordered from Toby Fiander in Sydney. Toby was looking for a gift which expressed exactly what he wanted to say. He found "The Poetry Factory" on the Internet (ICQ) and now has presented a beautifully framed and designed poetic gift to his friend Jann. Now Toby and Jann are married!

Happy Birthday Granny

Janet Florence Jackson

24th February 2000

You're a very special lady so these words composed for you

Are from the hearts of all your family

Jim, Pam, Christopher and Cam

These words expressed with love so easily

You tend a garden filled with birds and lovely flower blooms

A lady with the purest heart of gold

You've always shown your family loving generosity

We love you Granny oh! A thousand-fold

Looking back now through our lives and all the memories

Treasured times we cherish most of all

Times when we were younger, Chris and Cam played out the back

You've always been there for us, we recall

Your faith and love of God has inspired all our lives

And He's blessed this day, the day now of your birth

We are here to celebrate this special day of yours

This frame is sealed with love to show your worth

Granny we adore you and through words we'd like to say

Rhythmic verse in metered harmony

You're more priceless than any gem, diamonds, pearls or gold

The Lord created you specially

So Happy Birthday Granny from all your family

May your wishes and your dreams all come true

Bless you now and always for the love you've given us

It's our turn now and Granny we love you!

Happy Birthday Mum!

A gem and such a treasure in every single way

Through words I now express to you, on this your special day

I wanted to buy roses, but roses never last

And I need to give you more than chocky's for my blessed past

You welcome everybody into your home and heart

You're second Mum to everyone; been that way from the start

The beauty of your favourite rose, mere diamonds can't compare

Because you've always shown me that you love me and you care

Dear Mother, you are wonderful and Barbara is your name

You're such a precious treasure, anyone would think the same

I really love you Mother, you're the only one I've known

You really are so special and the whole world should be shown

You worked so hard for all these years; night-time, noon and morn

I gazed into you loving eyes the moment I was born

And now today! Your day of birth is with us now once more

I express my love for you, my Mother I adore

So Happy Birthday to you Mum, through verse I'd like to say

God bless you now and always, for this, a happy day

A Mother like no other, all my love, best wishes too

The Lord He smiles upon you, 'cause today he chose for you!

All my love from Greg

This is an example of a birthday poem, which was written in February 1999 for Greg Long (Longy) in Queensland Australia, Greg is a friend whom I met on Icq. He was looking for a unique gift, which expressed heartfelt love for his mother so I explained what "The Poetry Factory" could do for him. Hence, my first Internet sale.
