Cottage Garden Flowers

Sue made her bouquet from cottage garden flowers
To find matching blooms took her several hours

There were nine pretty roses in a shade of pale gold
Such a delicate fragrance they’re a joy to behold

Lilac and lemon freesias looked so bright and gay
They’d bring subtle colour to her pretty bouquet

Baby’s Breath added a touch of creamy white
Those tiny flowers are such a charming sight

Sue looked radiant with a bright beaming smile
And held her bouquet as she went down the aisle
