Mama took me across town to a strange doctor, to get proof that I was Worthy of a White Wedding Gown.

I was so scared on the drive to the doctor's office across town,
Mama was on a secret mission, she wanted proof that I was worthy of a White Wedding Gown.
I was an innocent, trusting child, the doctors's visit was to make sure that I was all right,
Mama assured me, that the exam was necessary, as I shook with fright.
I was made to lay on a table, waiting for the strange doctor to come in,
Mama stood by me, wearing a smug grin.
She knew that I was mortified, for a stranger to look down there,
Mama was all business, cold and without care.
The doctor got down to business, looking and probing, then he exclaimed,
" Your daughter is a virgin',as my face burned with shame.
I then realized that Mama had never trusted me, though I had always been good,
I had always acted like what she said a Lady should.
All was quiet on the ride home across town,
My humiliation, was rewarded by being Worthy to wear a White Wedding Gown.

MUSIC: White Wedding

SC,
In this well-told episode lie truth and pain and unnecessary guilt, the lack of trust a cruelty. Thank you for this.

OMG SC, I don't know what to say. I am so sorry, tears for that beautiful young girl who didn't deserve the distrust nor shame she encountered through a Mother's own self-mistrust. Love and hugs, Bonnie
