The Mother of the Bride

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: August 1, 2010

What lessons can Hillary teach to Chelsea?…

On Chelsea Clinton's wedding day
I wonder what her mom will say.
Will Hillary be candid
'bout the demons she has faced?

Will she give Chelsea little clues
of what to look for when "I do"s
have been forgotten by her man
before they have been done?

Will she confess what she has learned
when overtures of love are spurned
and you are left to feel the shame
(betrayed and all alone)?

Or will she tell her daughter why
she gave her man another try
because she promised to be true
when what he vowed proved false?

I'm hoping that she does all three
for that is what dear Hillary
has come to know and now can give
as mother-of-the-bride.
