Melania
Trump’s 46th Birthday
The year was
1961
The time of
Camelot had just begun
The youngest
elected president to grace the D.C. scene
At his arm his
graceful fashion queen
The Kennedy’s
seemed like the perfect culture storm
Hopes for a
better America quickly reborn
Calls on the
people to do for their country, to send a man to the moon
To unleash a
corps of volunteers to put poverty in a full swoon
50 mile
marches to bring the nation into shape
But also the
rumblings in a far off jungle we would not in the future escape
But beneath
the energetic active veneer an Arthur racked with back pain
Back brace
that prevented him from ducking down so in Dallas he was slain
Camelot died
that day as the caisson mournfully went past as the missing man formation
roared over head
A two year old
son saluting the caisson slowly marching past carrying his father now dead
The nation’s
flag at half mast the pennants from Camelot lowered and put away
And after
years of wars, recessions and divide we thought in storage they would forever
stay
Out of the
divide of partisan strife
This year
dreams of another great Camelot stirring to life
Time like in
Camelot to make America great again
A question of
no longer if but only when
A new
president more energetic than most men half his age
America with a
new Camelot first lady was turning to a new optimistic page
Melania Trump
was now first lady, only the second to outside the U.S. be born
A woman of
sheer beauty and grace to the designation of first lady adorn
The
comparisons between her and Jackie were swift
Both had the
foreign language gift
Jackie was a
photographer and later an editor of books
Melania on the
other side of the camera was a renowned model with stunning looks
Both dressed
out the pages of Cosmopolitan, Vogue or Elle
As a first
lady like Jackie she, will most certainly excel
Both were
young Jackie at 32 and Melania at 45 on April 26 to be 46
Like what
Jackie did to de Gaulle, Putin by Melania will be transfixed
Like Jackie,
Melania is first and foremost a full time mom with her son’s interests at heart
Waiting until
end of school before to the White House depart
In a nation of
immigrants it is only fitting and right
To wish her on
her birthday the best as the Camelot pennants out of storage come back in sight
A paraphrased
toast “Don’t let it be forgot, that once
again there is a spot
For at least four years of shining moments that was
known again as Camelot.”
