Top 20 Beautiful Poems to Gift for December Birthday Celebrants

Poem: Nguyên Đức

Celebrating a December birthday,
Joyfully welcoming the birth of the second son!
In the cold winter night, as the snow falls,
Bethlehem's manger, where my Savior descends.

He fulfills His divine mission,
Enduring suffering and death, a pain beyond measure.
Redeeming the sinners, both believers and non-believers,
With compassion, He teaches the way of faith.

Emulate His charity,
And all will find peace and glory.
He teaches humanity to live in harmony,
Love others as you would love yourself, my Lord.

He died, rose again, and ascended to heaven,
The Lord continues to save those who believe in Him.
Glory to God in the highest,
Peace on Earth for the good-hearted.

Poem: Nguyễn Thị Hồng Hạnh

How many times mother remains silent
When I ask her, when is her birthday.
She smiles: how could she remember
As time passed, so many years had flown by.
They say when mother was born
The night was cold, and the rain fell persistently.
Winter winds blew sharply and bitterly
It was the end of the year, and spring was near.
At that time, the New Year was almost here
We saw the peach blossoms of spring already blooming.
I listen to mother’s stories with emotion
No wonder she never remembers the day of her birth.
Perhaps it’s because it’s still here
Her birth month, the twelfth month.
Even though the years and months are long
She has never received a gift from anyone.
Now that she has passed away
The twelfth month arrives with sorrow in my heart.
Too late, I choose a rose
To offer it to her, lightening my heart.
I bow my head, mother, oh mother
Your love, always filled with compassion and goodness, remains forever.

Poem: Đào Mạnh Thạnh

I gather all the vibrant colors of my thoughts
To send them to you in longing and waiting
December marks the day of your childhood
That echoes with the sound of lullabies

Your birthday is filled with many hopes
To be together under the same longing light
Hands entwined, emotions overflowing
As we light candles, the flowers shining bright

But dear, December has passed us by
Leaving me far away, my heart aching with love
I know you're waiting anxiously for me
And longing for the birthday to fulfill its promise

Life has carried me far, a wandering soul
Weathering the storms of time with burdensome shoulders
On your birthday, my heart is full of doubt
The distance makes it hard for me to bear

My love, so many beautiful words
I've gathered and kept them deep in my heart
The love and sorrow, I hold them tightly
My dear, I will always keep them close

This birthday, I am far away
Sending you all my love
Along with flowers and evening clouds
This is my gift, a life of love for you

I send you a thousand pure colors
The white jasmine blooming bright, my dear
I wish you a lifetime of beauty, little one
Forever, I will always love you...

Poem: Nguyễn Văn Ruyến

Happy birthday to those born in December
May everything be prosperous, with blessings so bright
May happiness gently awaken like jade's light
And peace shine, glowing like the morning's first sight
Let winter leave behind sorrow and misfortune
And spring bring with it luck, wealth, and fortune
With the new age, joy and good fortune will weave
As the tree of life bears fruit, heavy with dreams.

Ninh Bình, December - 2019

Poem: Trần Lộc

Sending you a "Happy Birthday" wish
Hoping for a wonderful December for you
A kiss and a fresh blooming rose
Wishing you happiness that shines as bright as spring's glow
"Grace, charm, speech, and virtue" – pure and refined
With a smile that blossoms like spring's tender sign
Wishing you a heart-shaped face
With eyes so beautiful, and a figure full of grace
Heavenly beauty among the mortals
Turning heads with your presence so full of allure
Whispering soft words, my heart flutters
May you always find happiness by your loved one's side
No matter how far the distance may be
Remember the old song of longing and waiting
Your birthday is the dream come true
And I'll meet you on Christmas Eve at the church.

Poem: Nghi Lâm

How quickly time has passed, it’s almost the end of the year
Just in time for your birthday to appear
If I hadn't remembered, you might think I forgot
But I know, you would only tease me some more.

Once I went away and broke my promise
Leaving you waiting, feeling lonely and sad
You must have felt the disappointment so bad
I missed my chance... on the day you grew older!

We have shared many carefree days
And left memories on Bình Tiên’s streets
Moments saved, just for us, so sweet
Times we laughed together, throughout the years.

With your slender, graceful form
You made me fall for you in an instant
Your youthful beauty still so innocent
Our connection has never asked for more.

Now today, you’ve added another year
Even though you’re younger than me by decades
It doesn’t stop you from calling me near
And our closeness, still, remains unafraid.

This bouquet of roses speaks my heart
Wishing you a birthday that’s beyond compare
May you grow more radiant with each new year
My gift will arrive soon, just you wait,

Embrace the joy, the gift of happiness
And watch as Saigon dazzles... take care, my dear!

Poem: Dương Quốc Nam

You were born in the month of Christmas.
The wild sunflower, white chrysanthemums... shining in the land and sky
Now you’ve grown up,
Wishing you joy, good health, and a peaceful life.

May you have a calm new year,
With kindness, sharing, and the gentle love of your father.
Remember to nurture your life,
For what you give will always return with a loving heart.

Poem: Nguyễn Đình Hưng

Do you remember when we first got married, so naive?
Living in a subsidized economy, dreaming of making money
Then life became peaceful
And I bought you a birthday gift, but you told me not to.

You said it’s not a tradition in Vietnam,
And the money was wasted, with neighbors laughing at us.
I replied that the world loves such gestures,
Both in spirit and material, it's better to be generous.

You thought of yourself, but also your husband and children,
And you rejected flowers and gifts, choosing instead a celebration.
Several times you suggested we change the tradition,
To give birthday presents to our parents.

When we had children in the house,
You then gave toys as gifts for them.
You are a wonderful woman,
Always thinking of others, nurturing love and affection.

On your birthday, there are no flowers, no gifts,
Just love expressed through my humble verses.
December, as beautiful as a dream,
I wish you well, while I fumble with these lines.

Poem: Trần Duy Hạnh

The life of a soldier, on the frontlines
In the mountains near the border, at year’s end
Far from home, young soldiers often
Count the days, the cold and harsh winds.

The mountain slopes are rugged, the rocks jagged
The trees stand bare, without branches
The distant evening is veiled in mist
And the smoke blankets the rooftops of the quiet village.

The soldier stays awake through the long night
Guarding the post, keeping watch here
Patrolling through the wind and the clouds
The mountain cliffs cloaked in a faint mist.

At times, he thinks of his sweetheart
Who had promised to wait for him
Probably in the stillness of their hometown
His heart longs for her as the cold winter chills...

He picks a fragrant cluster of orchids
To send to her, delivering it by hand
So she can remember this December
As they wait together for the new year.

Do girls born in December fear being alone?
Since you were born in the winter, you need a warm shoulder.
Your mother wrapped you in her heart, a woman who fears the cold,
That’s why the day you were born always shines in her eyes.

The girl born in winter

The girl who belongs to the wind and the bright yellow mustard flowers stretching across the sky.
She hides her kind heart behind a sulky face and a longing pout.
No matter your age, you will always long for a tender love, like the soft melodies of music,
Which warm the soul, wandering through the stormy wind...

The girl born in December often thinks too much,

And thus easily finds herself in loneliness, missing out on moments.
Happiness arrives slower than sorrow.
She loves to slip her hand into someone’s coat pocket on cold days
And often speaks in contrast to her true feelings.

The girls born in December have souls full of storms,
They gather all the love in the cold wind of winter.
I hope the girl I love will stay innocent and free, like the grass,
Growing joy in her angelic eyes.

Poem: Nguyễn Nhật Ánh

For your birthday, I don't know what to give
Should I gift you small slippers so you can walk
Should I gift you a small pen for you to write
Or gift you the moon that has just reached its prime?

Or should I give you a stroll to remember
The green grass below and the clouds above
I'm fifteen, you're fourteen,
But we both forget that we’ve grown older now

Or should I gift you a rosy morning
A cluster of golden clouds carrying the sunshine along
The vast sky and earth, boundless as can be,
Where could I find a place for the rain to visit?

Or should I gift you a long love story
That I read endlessly, yet it’s still in chapter one
I love you endlessly, yet we are still unbroken
Far apart, yet our bond never fades away

In the end, what should I really gift you?
Well, I'll give you a day where no words are needed
Just sitting still, listening to the sound of hearts
Two hearts laughing with a mysterious charm.

Birthday

Poem: Trương Túy Anh

December arrives, stirring hearts with emotion
Recalling the dates filled with sweet memories
Waiting for the end of the year to bring a day
When two souls will unite in joy and happiness

In December, the bare trees fall asleep
As winter arrives and the breeze lulls them to rest
Waiting for spring to bloom with new shoots
Turning leaves green, and flowers begin to bloom

December arrives, with pale sunlight
The yellow mustard flowers burst, blooming brightly
For those far from home, longing and reminiscing
Spending sleepless nights, sending poems on the wind

December arrives, the year is nearly over
Many things were lost in the past year
Sadness, joy, and happiness blend together
Countless memories etched into our hearts

December marks the end of a long year
Desiring calmness, free from the turmoil of emotions
For our hearts not to wander aimlessly
Seeking solace within a warm embrace.

Do you see it, my love?
Is December approaching, standing at the doorstep?
I'm left speechless
As the days rush by, in a hurry,
The cold wind sweeps autumn far away…

In December, do the trees turn red?
I'm silent
Seeking in each gust of wind,
A warm breath from days long past.

Do you see it, my love?
In December, I still wait for you?
Winter arrives
Bringing more longing and memories,
The bitter cold makes the heart feel even colder.

Do you see it, my love?
In December, I still call out your name?
The wind keeps singing
Our love song still unfinished,
Why hasn't December brought you back yet!

"Hey, you! My December girl.
December, I will always wait for you to return!"

I was born in the cold winds of winter
In December, when the cold of winter is harsh
But don't be deceived by my cold exterior
For in my heart runs a warm bloodline

In December, the cold wraps everything tight
Just like me, seemingly distant and cold
But when I feel sad, I don’t speak a word
I quietly cry, hiding the pain deep inside

In December, love is not calculated
I give my heart fully, without hesitation
In December, I may speak little, but act a lot
For I fear having to use sweet words

In December, I am strong and hardworking
Because it's the last month of the year
Willing to sacrifice and endure in silence
Even though sometimes I long for warm sunlight

Oh December Girl, I watch you closely
Beyond the cold and tough exterior
I see a gentle soul within you
As pure as the snow covering the winter

December birthdays are always complete
Filled with love and happiness so sweet
Wishing the December birthday girl joy so bright
May you embrace all the love through all twelve months.

Writing about you, the girl of December
The winter month, bringing cold winds so sharp
The month for honest people, true at heart
Your month, full of sorrow, no one can deny.

Always living with love as your guiding light
Always putting a smile on others' faces
Even in hardship, your heart remains sincere
Always painting life in bright, vivid colors.

Writing about you... the pride of this world
The month filled with fragrant blooms so sweet
December, with the sun's light fading
Month of storms, full of longing and regrets.

You will forever be that extraordinary girl
Always strong, standing tall in life
Small in stature, but your heart is vast
Warm and endless, carrying the sky of love.

Poetry: Nguyễn Thị Thanh Yến

I am no longer the December girl
Why do I still feel the excitement when winter knocks at the door?
My heart is unsettled before the chilly evening breeze
Listening to the first cold of the season in a strangely familiar way.

What is it that makes my emotions so tangled?
It’s just autumn passing, and winter arriving
I listen as the seasons rush by in haste
And feel my heart stir as winter draws near.

I am no longer the December girl
Why does my heart ache so deeply this evening?
On a winter street corner, which forgotten promise is delayed
That leaves me feeling adrift with the cold wind?

Oh life, though fate may twist and turn
I remain unchanged, even as the past fades away
Still, when winter comes, my heart keeps its warmth
Who will remind me of the stories not yet distant...

Poetry: Nguyễn Thị Khánh Hà

I love you as a boat loves the sea
I seek you like the waves seek the shore
The waves gently kiss the innocent beach
While the soft sand stands still, lost in happiness

You and I are a passionate love song
Music gives life to the words we sing
I need you like the drought waits for the first rain of summer
As a flower longs for the dawn's first light

You, the December girl, so courageous
Your spirit is strong, never indulging in fantasy
Your warmth is as comforting as the sweet scent of flowers
And your love is intoxicating, like wine brewed in winter

With you in December, everything feels warmer
Sweet happiness fills the air...
All year long, through Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter...

Poetry: Hoàng Minh Tuấn

Father suddenly remembers December so much
The day you were born, your first cry in the world
And now you're almost thirty
Yet I’m still far from home in a foreign land

I watch your quiet steps every day
The first steps were so hard, my dear
Our small house barely enough for three
But you grew up strong, healthy, and happy

Entering kindergarten with a sparkling smile
Taking each step with joyful songs
“Dad loves you...” I am so proud of you
How you've grown, I see it, my child

You went to school and we grew apart
Then you started working, I thought you’d be further still
But I never imagined your dreams would keep you going
And you left again, chasing after them

Your birthday, I’ll always remember it
Just wish you happiness, joy, and health
And when you’ve grown up, my dear child
Always remember your roots, your motherland!

Happy birthday, stay strong and healthy!

Poetry: Trịnh Thanh Hằng

A tiny being
Cries out as it enters the world
The church bells ring, filling the air
On a bright Christmas day

You were born, unsure
On a faded winter afternoon
Your face, as beautiful as a flower
With skin as fair as snow

Then time slipped away
Taking with it so much
What remains is a wandering soul
Life's ups and downs, like waves at sea

Here is a hurried walk
And a gentle voice
Mixed with a touch of grace
As peaceful as the earth's embrace

On this birthday
I, your sister, have no gifts
Nor many flowers to offer
Just this poem and heartfelt wishes

The struggles have passed
A new year shines bright
Leave behind the doubts
Your smile, even more radiant

The world is wide and open
Embracing you with loving arms
Wishing your birthday be filled with
Love, joy, and happiness.

Thơ: Phùng Huyền

Em chỉ là cô gái mùa đông
Vờ mạnh mẽ giấu mình trong băng giá
Chốn nghĩ suy trong cơn gió lạ
Lã chã nuốt lòng giọt nước mắt rơi

Nhớ về đâu , cô gái mùa đông ơi?
Liệu ấm áp một tình yêu khắc khoải
Có ôm nổi đôi bờ vai vững chãi
Ru trái tim chai sạn vết xước sâu

Cô gái mùa đông , em chớ lo âu!
Anh vẫn hiểu em mong anh nhiều lắm
Nói với em lời từ trong sâu thẳm
Bao yêu thương từ trống vắng tâm hồn

Muốn về bên khẽ đặt nhẹ nụ hôn
Lên khóe mắt đang nhỏ thầm giọt nhớ
Kề vai em quên đi bao trăn trở
Nghe con tim nức nở nỗi niềm xa

Nhớ thật nhiều! Em - mùa đông của ta!!!!
