10 Birthday Poem For 18-Year-Old To Celebrate Your Daughter’s Special Day
1. Daddy’s Little Girl – Angie Provost
Once pigtails and stuffed animals
Daddy’s little girl.
Now cell phones and first cars
our minds in such a whirl.
Our daughter’s grown up
turning 18 today.
So strong and so beautiful
trying to find your own way.
Life is just beginning
the world is yours to take.
We hope we’ve taught you well
and you’ve learned from our mistakes.
We’ve loved you and protected you
now it’s time to let you fly.
Though a woman stands before us
forever Daddy’s girl in our eyes!
2. For My Lovely Daughter On Her Birthday – Vinny Vintila
Happy Sweet Sixteen, my dearest teen.
Here she is, already eighteen!
My pretty little girl grew up too fast,
And little girl memories are now in the past.
A hug, a kiss, and a warm embrace
For my little darling with the cutest face!
My little princess is now eighteen,
But in my heart always my queen!
3. The Joy A Daughter Brings Her Mother – Alora M. Knight
Many are the joys in life.
I’m blessed with quite a few.
Still, most of all I’m grateful
To have a daughter just like you.
I remember well when you were born,
The joy that filled my heart.
When I first held you in my arms,
I loved you from the start.
It was always such a pleasure
To see your precious life unfold.
Learning new things every day
Brought happiness untold.
The child in you, I still can see.
A glimmer here and there.
The smile when you anticipate,
A tugging at your hair.
Though no one knows the future,
What each one has in store,
I know whatever happens
I couldn’t love you more.
So on this special day of yours,
Know the love that’s there for you.
Not just today, but every day,
Will last a lifetime through.
4. A Daughter’s Eighteenth – Unknown
Seasons come and seasons go
Through autumn’s leaves and winter’s snow
Sweet as summer berries you
A fresh spring breeze you carry through.
Though time flies fast, the passing years
Have bought us laughter, joy and tears
And now at last our daughter dear
Has reached her special 18th year.
So with all the love we feel inside
And all a mother and father’s pride
We wish you well on this special day
May love and laughter come your way.
Let’s raise a glass of sparkly cheer
Happy 18th birthday, our sweet daughter dear!
5. In The Tapestry Of Life – Unknown
In the tapestry of life, my daughter, you’re the thread,
A source of strength, in every word you’ve said.
On this special day, I celebrate you,
A daughter grown, loyal and true.
From the first moment I held you in my embrace,
I knew you were destined for a life filled with grace.
May this birthday bring joys beyond measure,
And your heart find solace, love’s endless treasure.
6. For The First Time – Tani Montee
For the first time, I saw your face,
And in my heart you filled that space.
I closed my eyes, and you were one,
And my love for you had grown brighter than the sun.
My heart skipped a beat when you turned two.
You were getting so big! What was I to do?
On the day that you turned three,
I gave you a baby brother to share with me.
It seemed like in no time you were four,
And when you looked at me with love, my heart would soar.
All too quickly, you turned five.
You would soon start school and leave me behind.
While gaining your independence, you turned six,
But there are still things you need me to fix.
It was not easy watching you turn seven.
You are a gift from God, sent straight from Heaven.
I will shed a tear as you turn eight,
And thank the Lord for making you my fate.
Another year gone, and now you’re nine.
It’s going too fast. I wish I could turn back time.
Time keeps moving, and you grow into ten.
If only we could go back to one again.
God smiles upon you as you turn eleven.
He is saving you a place up in Heaven.
Twelve comes so quickly, and you go to middle school.
Your world is so different, and now I’m not so cool.
You welcome thirteen, but my little girl I will miss.
It was in this year that you got your first kiss.
I hold my breath as you turn fourteen,
A more beautiful young lady I have never seen.
Fifteen comes and takes fourteen away,
“Please keep her safe,” to God I pray.
At sixteen, you can finally drive,
I wish it was still your Barbie Jeep when you were just five.
Turning seventeen, there’s not much time,
The mountain of your youth you’ve almost climbed.
Eighteen comes in the blink of an eye,
And as you close this chapter, I’ll try my best not to cry.
I’ve loved you forever, or so it seems.
I first met you in my dreams when I was young.
You are everything I ever hoped for and more.
I’m excited to see what God has in store.
7. Eighteen Years of Brilliance – Unknown
Happy 18th birthday,
To my shining star so bright.
You’ve grown into an amazing woman,
With each passing day, taking flight.
Through every hurdle faced,
And every dream pursued with might,
I’m proud beyond measure,
Of the person you continue to ignite.
8. Happy Birthday – Janel M. Perez
Dance among the ribbons
of the birthday balloons.
Smile through the lit candles
and sing to the classic happy tune.
Eat the cake of wishes,
frosted with sweet dreams of parties to come.
Blindly swing at the flying unicorn,
sending treasures across the lawn.
Spin among the music and laughter
in your perfect party dress that’s brand new.
And till next year, my darling,
happy birthday to you.
9. A Shooting Star – Unknown
Oh, daughter mine, like a shooting star
Oh, daughter mine, like a shooting star,
You’ve traveled far, both near and far.
On your birthday, I see the woman you’ve become,
A beacon of love, shining brightly, never undone.
With every smile, you light up the room,
A tender heart, chasing away the gloom.
May this day be filled with laughter and cheer,
And the coming year holds dreams ever near.
10. Birthday Wishes For A Little Girl – Ciana R. Lewis
A cake with a lit candle,
Presents with ribbons and bows,
A bike with pink, glittery handles,
A little girl who grows and grows.
What will you wish for, my love,
On this, your very special day?
Send your wish to God above.
It will come true if you pray.
As you blow out the candle, my dear,
I’ll make a wish for you too.
I’ll whisper it so you won’t hear,
That way I know it will come true.
My wish for you is like sunshine,
Warm, cheery, and full of delight,
My wish is the starlight, soothing and fine,
Which lights up the dark, dreary night.
May God follow you always,
May the path always be clear,
And may you have a happy birthday
This day and all through the years.
