You Are The Most Special Person on Earth…Here’s Why
There’s no doubt that mothers play a very influential role in their child’s life.
Right from when you discover that you have taken seed to when your child gets married to the love of their life, to when your children have their own kids, mothers are always there for their offspring no matter what they go through in their lives.
One proud moment for all mothers is when their children celebrate their birthdays. This memorable day is meant not only to celebrate your child’s life but also to tell their friends and family what they mean to you.
If you are wondering about what to say on your son’s or daughter’s birthday, then you don’t have to worry because in this post, I am going to share with you everything you need to know to help you write a sweet birthday message or speech for your son and daughter.
But before we delve into it, let us look at two issues that hold most people back from doing so well when they are presented with an opportunity to say a few words before any crowd.
Do you have any idea what they are? You might even be experiencing one as I write this now.
Ok….
Take Care of These and Your Speech Will Be a Massive Hit
First, most speech givers get butterflies in their tummy when they imagine how their speeches would be received by their listeners. This usually happens due to past speaking failures.
For example, if you have failed to address an audience confidently sometime in the past, old memories will come back to haunt you and you will even begin to wonder if you are really cut out for speaking in public.
You can turn the tide around by putting the past behind you no matter how humiliating it was and embrace this new task with a heart of confidence and you will be filled with an unstoppable surge of energy no matter what is going through your mind.
Second, most people think it’s only good writers who have the special ability to craft superb toasts. That's not true because I have read several great tributes that were written by people like you and me.
Although being blessed with the gift of words can largely influence your choice of words to a large degree, if you learn the ropes and apply yourself to it, you too can write a great speech without trying so hard.
Having said that, let us now look at how to easily and quickly write a great birthday toast for your son or daughter on his or her 1st, 16th, 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th etc. birthday.
To do that, we can start off by looking at this birthday speech template which will form the basis for our study and analysis.

A Mother’s Birthday Message for Her Son
P.S I would like to thank Lynette Sheppard for posting this excellent example on her blog. Although this for a son, you can still tweak it if for example, you are writing about your daughter.
I cannot believe this day has arrived – the day I have simultaneously anticipated and dreaded. The little boy who made me a mother, who screamed himself hoarse on the first night home from the hospital and caused me years of grief with his beloved iron will is now 18, all grown up and making final preparations for his impending flight from the nest.
Months, not years, are all that I have left before the dynamic of our family morphs into something that I cannot yet fully grasp. And I have feelings: lots of big feelings.
While I could write a novel about my experience with this boy and how it has largely made me into the person and mother I am today, I will spare you the soliloquy. Instead, I am going to talk directly to him and invite you to read along.
Dear Jordan,
I remember well the day that you joined our family, a perfect little bundle of joy. While I was young, inexperienced, and naive, I could not have been happier to hold you in my arms and dream about what you would grow up to become.
It was apparent from day one that you came to this earth with a mind of your own. You were perceptive beyond measure. You knew how you wanted things and refused to accept anything less, especially from yourself.
With your innate perfectionistic tendencies, intelligence, and musicality that were all manifested within the first few months your life, I knew that I would have my hands full. You initially gave me a run for my money and caused me to question what I could possibly teach you (because you thought you already knew everything) and how I would ever be able to help you mold your stubborn persistence into something worthwhile.
There were many days when I secretly questioned the Lord’s decision to send you to me because I felt so unqualified to teach you how to behave, let alone how to become a contributing member of society.
But, many times, when I was at my wit’s end and had no idea how I was going to get up and work with you again the next day, the Lord mercifully sent His Spirit to whisper in my ear, reminding me of your potential and the stature of your spirit:
“You can’t see it now,” He would say, “but this child is going to do incredible things. I sent him to you with a strong will because he will need it to accomplish the mission that I have prepared for him. You have no idea how lucky you are to be his mother.”
Those gentle reminders are what kept me going through the long days that stretched into months and years.
While those early experiences with you are still etched into my memory, they have been overshadowed in recent times with quiet observations of your evolution to greatness. Your stubborn “I must always be right and perfect” nature has softened into teachable humility.
Your tender heart that sees and reaches out to those who are struggling, even when it requires great personal sacrifice, is nothing short of inspiring. Your love of God and others is written all over your countenance.
Your intelligence blows me away, yet you do not let it go to your head. I guess your head is already filled with things like multivariable calculus. While I’m sure you got most of your smarts from me, I begrudgingly admit that this particular part of your genius must have come from Dad. (Surprising, I know.)
The work ethic that you have developed through passing 12 AP exams with flying colors (so far) is going to serve you in ways that you cannot yet understand. And waking yourself up (nearly) every day at 5:00 am with very little complaint for the past four years, so that you could attend early morning seminary, tells me more about your character than you realize.
Your patience with your younger siblings makes a huge difference in our home. They are fortunate to have such a good example for a big brother. Except when it comes to cleaning your bedroom. You might want to work on that just a tiny bit. (Hint, hint)
And let’s not even talk about your musical prowess, or I may lose my composure. The beautiful music that has filled our home because of your talent will be one of the things that I miss the most when you leave.
You and I may have gotten off to a rocky start 18 years ago, but I can say with 100% confidence that I feel blessed beyond measure to be your mother. Watching your gradual transformation from perfectionistic and challenging child to humble, kind, and driven young adult has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.
I know I have not been a perfect mother; far from it. But I will be forever grateful that the Lord took a chance on me as a young, newly married woman 18 years ago by sending you to me.
I feel like I have often been more of a student than a teacher through this process, learning how to be more like the Savior by observing the light that emanates from your very being. No matter what happens after you embark on your post high school adventure, do whatever it takes to keep that light. It will lead you to accomplish amazing things.
Now, let me just say that I know your high school career has been stuffed full of college-level academics and their accompanying stress, sometimes at the expense of other things. It has been a tough road, and I know that you regret parts of it because you feel like you missed out on some of your childhood at the hands of education.
Knowing what we know now, we both may have made different educational decisions for you if we could go back and do it again. However, I want you to remember that knowledge is never wasted. It is something that will enrich your life and the lives of those with whom you associate again and again.
Not only that, but life does not end with high school; it begins. You have a world of opportunities and experiences ahead of you that you can now scarcely imagine.
Look forward with hope and anticipation, not backward with regret. Your experiences have prepared you well for the future and all of its complexity. Of this, I am sure.
At this point, I want to give you a bit of advice as you prepare for the next important chapter in your life because that is my job as your mother:
- STAY CLOSE TO THE LORD.
- DON’T BE STUPID.
- IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF HOW TO PROCEED, REFER TO NUMBERS ONE AND TWO.
I am confident that you were born to lead and I can’t wait to see what you do with your immense talent and unlimited potential. Please know that I love you with all of my heart and will always be here for you, no matter what. My relationship with you is one of my most prized possessions.
I am beyond lucky to be your mom. Happy 18th Birthday!
Can you write something like that, if not better? You can...don't doubt yourself! Just stick with me for a while.
Your Friends and Family Will Marvel If You Start Your Speech This Way
Now, let us break down the different parts of this template so that we can use the ideas gleaned to write a heartfelt birthday toast for your child.
First, let us start with the opening remarks. Here is an excerpt of it to guide us every step of the way.
‘’ I cannot believe this day has arrived – the day I have simultaneously anticipated and dreaded. The little boy who made me…’’
If you look at the above quotation, you will realize that the opening statement is intended to capture attention right from the get-go.
However, most opening lines are not inspiring enough. It’s pretty common for most moms to start talking about their sons or daughters in this all important aspect of the presentation.
Well, there’s nothing wrong with that style. But you always go a step further by coming up with other creative ways that will make your speech very entertaining, unique, and memorable.
At this point, let us see how you can inventively start with a bang.
First, if you or your family is a Christian or deeply religious, you can kick start with a bible based prayer. Here is an example of how to weave that into your birthday message.
As you celebrate your birthday this special day, may the Lord heap His favor on you. At His command, may the universe be kind to you.
On your birthday, may the Lord go ahead of you and open doors of greatness for you. May He bless your going out and your coming in. May The Lord keep His angels charge of you, to protect you from every harm every step of the way in Jesus name!
Second, if you have a beautiful voice, you can simply write a brief poem about your child and sing it to the beat of a well-known song. This way of presentation has always proven to be a hit with everyone. Just try it if you can and everyone will be complimentary.
Third, to make your presentation absolutely hilarious, you can show a funny video or something similar to that before you even say anything about your son or daughter.
Fourth, the most popular way of diving deep into your presentation is to start with a story about your son’s or daughter’s life.
It could be a funny incident that occurred prior or after his or her birth or when they were growing up. The trick here is to lace your speech with fond and memorable stories.
Fifth, does your son or daughter share the same birthday with an influential personality or even a member of your family?
For instance, you could say something along these lines:
Special people are born on March 14. My mom was born on this day. So was Dan’s uncle. When I was expecting him, the doctors said I will have him on 21st March. But on 12th March my water broke and it wasn’t until a minute past midnight on March 14th that he made his grand entrance into this world.
Did you see how I wrote that?
Now, let us turn our attention to the next issue on the table:
How to Write the Structure or Outline of Your Birthday Toast for Your Son or Daughter
This aspect of your message seems fairly easy to write. But the problem for most mothers lie in organizing their random thoughts into a very coherent manner. This happens because they lack a plan. Even where one exists, they don’t stick with it through and through.
To make sure your ideas spring to life, you have to follow a simple plan to organize your scattered thoughts.
First, select a style or theme for your message and your choice should be a reflection of who you are or your personal demeanor. The styles to choose from include witty, narrative, musical, rhythmic, poetic, sentimental, or a blend of two or more speaking styles.
Next, decide on the duration of your speech. It should be long or short enough to capture what you really want to say.
Afterwards, you can get your creative juices flowing by putting yourself in the mood for the right expressions of ideas. Watching a couple of videos can get you started. YouTube has tons of these videos to give you a clear picture of how to go about it.
By the way, I got these video clips for you. Please take a few minutes to enjoy them and see if you can learn a thing or two from them.
Video # 1: Birthday Speech for Your Son
Video # 2: Birthday Speech for Your Daughter
After you watched these videos, you then proceed to jot down your ideas. You can frame your storyline after the above example. Or better still, provide answers to the following questions and use the content to write a quick rough draft.
Now, this is what I want you to do. Go grab your pen and paper and write answers to these questions.
- What was the feeling like when your son or daughter was born?
- How did you feel when your child was growing up?
- Do you have any funny memories you want to add to your toast?
- What do you want to say to your child on his or her birthday?
- What are your best wishes for him or her?
Action Tip: Write a rough draft and keep reviewing and cleaning it up until it comes out the way you want it to be.
Now, let’s quickly end with this:
How to Create a Memorable Ending
The ending of your message is like the climax of the story. But it should good enough to make your remarks remember bits and pieces of what you say.
How then do you write a great conclusion that will remain in the mind of your listeners for a long time to come?
First, you can wrap up on a very happy note by asking everyone to join as you sing a parody of the ever popular tune ‘’Happy Birthday To You’’ Here, you can tweak it a bit to make it more personal.
Second, you can gift your son and daughter a very special gift and it will convey how much they mean the world to you. What do you think you can really present to your child on his or her special day?
Third, you can end by thanking certain personalities who have been a tremendous blessing in your life. Can you mention some of them and why you are thanking them?
Fourth, you can end with a special prayer if you are devout Christians. What better way to end your speech than asking God to shower your boy or girl with blessings from above.
Fifth, if you are lost for words, you can simply end with some well wishes. That’s easy to jot down, right? I think so I am not going to show you any examples.
