I have lots of birthday verses and poems on this website but this web page concentrates on one-liners, the things you might want to hand-write, particularly for the special milestone birthdays..30th, 40th, 50th, 60th. That's not to say that I haven't written poems. I have, based on pithy and inspirational quotes so that they become unique and appropriate for birthday messages. I hope you find something useful here, and if not, go to my other pages of birthday card messages entitled
