A poem

Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

My dearest friend, I have something to ask,

A special role for you, a task.

As I prepare to walk down the aisle,

Your presence by my side would make me smile.

I need your help, your support, your cheer,

To calm my nerves and ease my fear.

From dress fittings to planning galore,

I know you'll be there, and so much more.

Your kindness and love shine through,

And that's why I'm asking, will you...

Be my bridesmaid, and stand with me?

I can't think of anyone else it should be.

So, will you say "yes" to this request?

I promise, your efforts will be blessed.

Together, we'll create memories to treasure,

A bond that will last now and forever.

I can't wait to hear your answer, my dear,

With your support, I'll have nothing to fear.
