My Bridal Gown Poem by Jeannette Heywood

I'm going to Town to choose my bridal gown.
What a wonderful day, fairy princess I'll play.
I've relished this role since my groom's heart I stole.

In shop window I gaze, my mind in a haze.
Lace, satin, tulle and tresses, oh so many dresses!
White, ivory and cream, this all feels like a dream.
My choice is made clear when I see mother's tear.

In my finery I'll flounce, how my groom's heart will bounce.
Tiara crowns me in glory, a heroine made for this love story.

Enrobed thus, I will dance, my heart filled with romance.
With scooped up train I'll twirl as I did when just a girl.

My glittering veil cascading, the memory never fading.
I'll add borrowed and blue, our love will be ever true.
Today I carry home from Town, my beautiful bridal gown.
