She never got to dance
Or go to her own prom.
She never got the chance
To forget where she came from.
She never got to kiss,
A man she idolized.
She never felt love’s bliss,
‘Cause she was paralyzed.
She never got to talk.
About love with a smile.
She never got to walk.
Down a church’s aisle.
She never got to say
Those precious words, “I Do.”
But she was far and away.
The strongest girl I ever knew.
Or go to her own prom.
She never got the chance
To forget where she came from.
She never got to kiss,
A man she idolized.
She never felt love’s bliss,
‘Cause she was paralyzed.
She never got to talk.
About love with a smile.
She never got to walk.
Down a church’s aisle.
She never got to say
Those precious words, “I Do.”
But she was far and away.
The strongest girl I ever knew.
