There's nothing more special
than being a part
of a family that listens
and comforts and cares.
And nothing more special
or dear to the heart
than the feelings of love
that a family shares.

This card brings Birthday wishes most sincere
And you may think words are cheap, I fear
But I've included an invisible slice of niceness
And a (mother's*) love and loyalty and now it's priceless

*(mother's/father's/ son's/daughter's/aunt's/etc)

Family ties are precious threads
No matter where we roam.
They draw us close to those we love
And pull our hearts back home.

F is for Familiar... there is no place like home.

A is for always welcome, no matter how far you roam.

M is for memories, more cherished each day.

I is for inspiration given along the way.

L is for Love you feel each time you get together.

Y is for the years to come for family lasts forever.

Any family tree produces some lemons, some nuts and a few bad apples.

Almost any poem or verse can be adapted for a relative by adding "sister", "brother" "mother", "father" etc anywhere except at the end of the 2nd line or the end of the 4th.

Heres a few examples

Another candle on your cake?
Well, that's no cause to pout.
Be glad that you have strength enough
(Sis, be glad you've got the puff)
To blow the damn thing out.

The 3rd line has been shortened to fit in "Sis" so that it still scans

Dad, you've gone thro' the first three stages of man
1. Do believe in Santa
2. Don't believe in Santa
3. Is Santa
You've reached the fourth stage
Looks like Santa

Families can be very complex..

..as this video illustrates

Many, many years ago
when I was twenty-three
I was married to a widow
who was pretty as could be
This widow had a grown-up daughter
who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her
and soon they too were wed

This made my dad my son-in-law
and really changed my life
For now my daughter was my mother,
'cause she was my father's wife
And to complicate the matter,
even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father
of a bouncing baby boy

My little baby then became
a brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle,
though it made me very sad
For if he were my uncle,
then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grownup daughter,
who was of course my step-mother

Father's wife then had a son
who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild,
for he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother
and it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife,
she's my grandmother too

Now if my wife is my grandmother,
then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it,
it nearly drives me wild
'Cause now I have become
the strangest 'case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother,
I am my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa,
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny, I know
but it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

It takes two men to make one brother. -Israel Zangwill

A friend is a brother who was once a bother. -Author Unknown

A brother shares childhood memories and grown-up dreams. -Author Unknown

It snowed last year too: I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea. -Dylan Thomas

A brother is a friend given by Nature. -Jean Baptiste Legouve

with someone like you 
someone to lean on, 
someone to count on.
someone to tell on!

Family Birthday Verses Poems Quotes

Walk a little slower, Dad
Cos I am only small.
I’m following in your footsteps,
And I don’t want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they’re hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Dad,
For you are leading me.

Someday when I’m all grown up.
You’re what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child,
Who’ll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Dad,
For I must follow you.

Little darling grandson
Today you’re one year old
And every day you’ve brought
All the joy that life could hold
You’re such a special little boy
And from the day that you were born
You’ve brought so much sunshine
Into the world each morn

When your eyes are shining brightly
It’s obvious to see
That one day you will for certain
Become all you’re meant to be.
You are to simply everyone
A special little man
Who brings the kind of happiness
That nothing’s greater than

For even when it’s raining
On cold and cloudy days,
You bring so many smiles
With your funny little ways,
You’re a beautiful Grandson
And, when your birthdays been and gone,
It will have brought so much happiness
Now that you are one!!

But you're the very very best

This card isn't good enough
As I think it oughta
It oughta be more special
For my very special daughter

Only a daughter knows just what you mean,
Couldn't care less if your house isn't clean,
Keeps all your secrets, including your weight---
Only a daughter who's great.
Only a daughter will lend you a shirt,
Help you get moved, share a dessert,
Not say a word unless asked for advice---
Only a daughter who's nice.
Only a daughter will cover your butt,
Stand up for your rights, tell you what's what,
Offer a thoughtful and smart point of view,
Be the one person who keeps coming through,
Someone you just gotta love (and we do!!)

Only a daughter like you.

Granddads (Grandpas) give you lots of chocs
And let you stay up late,
Then they give you lots of pop
And sweeties by the crate.

You then find out the real truth,
They weren't so good at all
They're Father Christmas all year round
They never ever bug you.
With massive hearts and open arms
Just waiting there to hug you
