Best Congratulations Poems

The bond of love
that lies in your hearts
shall defeat...

Your Diploma is your first big step.
Knowledge is your key!
Achieving what you want in life,
and being, what you want to be!

that has only just begun!

I couldn't be more proud of you,
I wish success, I hope you...

Only on re reading I

Hi there new born baby, welcome to your life,
Off to work tomorrow, mother’s got no choice,
Your at the teats, sister’s slung around her back,
Ten hours in the field, gathering god knows what,
She’s pregnant again, another one’s in the pot. 

Oh I forgot to mention, this...

Good clients of ours we invited home for a Greek meal
But my aunt made a mistake she couldn’t conceal,
Angelina’s boyfriend was nineteen years younger,

Once upon a time my eye fell on some videos and pictures,
On the Net I saw a lovely, such a young and beauteous creature...
But, of course, it's not her stature, and it's not her noble features 
That gave me an inspiration 'cause I  know...
