Floral Tribute

I caught the bride’s floral bouquet 
Bitter tears formed in my blue eyes 
As papa can’t give me away. 
I caught the bride’s floral bouquet 
Papa will miss my wedding day 
It hurts so much when someone dies. 
I caught the bride’s floral bouquet 
Bitter tears formed in my blue eyes

So well done my friend! Hugs and blessings. Best wishes for the contest.
