Medium Poems

One Year Old

One year has passed since you were born,
And our lives have been filled with joy and more.
You’ve brought us love, laughter, and so much fun,
Our little one-year-old, our shining sun.

We’ve watched you grow and learn to walk,
As you discovered new things with every talk.
You’ve become more curious and bright each day,
With your cute little smile and infectious play.

We cannot wait to see what the future holds,
As you continue to amaze us with your stories untold.
We love you more than words can say,
Happy birthday, our precious one-year-old today.

A Year of Firsts

This year has been a remarkable one,
Filled with many firsts that you’ve already done.
Your first smile, your first laugh, your first step,
Oh, how we cherish every moment of our little prep.

Your first birthday, now it’s finally here,
A time to reflect on your growth, so clear.
You’ve brought so much joy into our life,
And all we want is to give our best vibe.

As you blow out the candle and make a wish,
We hope that you’ll always glow, our little fish.
A year of firsts has flown by so fast,
But the memories we’ve made will truly last.

So, happy first birthday to our precious gem,
Thank you for making this year so much fun.
We love you more than words can ever express,
And may your future be ever so bright and bless.

Long Poems

Blossoming into Year One

Oh, happy day! The little one has come so far
Celebrating one year and shining like a star
From the precious moments of birth
To learning how to crawl on earth

The little one has grown up so fast
And now it’s time to make a birthday blast
The family is in awe, seeing how much has changed
As the little one has blossomed and rearranged

From crying through the night
To smiling with all his might
From crawling on all fours
To walking, through opened doors

Those first steps were clumsy, it’s true
But now it’s easy, nothing new
Climbing stairs was once a drama
But now it’s conquered with pizzazz and charisma

From playing with toys to creating her own games
The little one will never be the same
Reaching for the stars with all her heart
Choosing her own path, right from the start

This beautiful soul – a journey that’s begun
As she turns one, let’s raise the sun
Over many more adventures to come
Brimming with love, laughter and fun

May all her dreams come true
As she grows, watching life anew
Happy first birthday, little one
The world is your playground, and the best is yet to come!

A Year of Love

One year has passed, my little one,
Since you arrived and brightened our home.
Your cries and wails, your coos and giggles,
All have made our hearts fill with love that jiggles.

From your first steps to your first word,
Each milestone we cherished and adored.
The way you explore the world inquisitively,
And discover joy in the simplest things so lively.

Your first tooth, your first smile,
We know everything is all worth while.
To see you grow, to see you thrive,
Gives us a sense of pride and radiance to survive.

We’ve watched you learn and grow so much,
And we’re grateful for every single touch.
Your tiny hands and softest feet,
Bring us happiness, oh so sweet.

With every challenge you faced,
You’ve struggled and emerged with grace.
And every moment we spent with you,
We know our love with you only grew.

We can’t wait to see you grow and bloom,
And watch you become what you want to.
We’ll be with you every step of the way,
Our love for you forever and a day.

So here’s to you, little one,
On your very first birthday, we have so much fun.
We love you more than words can say,
Happy first birthday and let’s celebrate today!
