THE STRONGEST GIRL I EVER KNEW


She never got a chance to dance
Or go to her own prom
She never got the chance
To forget where she came from
She knew her starting point

She never got to kiss
A man she idolized
She never felt love’s bliss
‘Cause she was paralyzed
Helpless and void of affiliation

She looks so sad seating all alone
She’s feeling bad
She has no hope thinking all is lost
She feel’s so dejected and unwanted by all
As her yesterday is crushed to the ground

She never got to talk
About love with a smile
She never got to walk
Down a church’s aisle
Just alone with her self

She never got to say
Those precious words, “I Do”
But she was far and away
From the busyness of life
The strongest girl I ever knew

She couldn’t brush her hair
Or put make up on her face
She couldn’t hold you dear
Or give you a warm embrace
To feel the warmness of love

She couldn’t clasp her hands
As if in the form of prayer
She couldn’t understand
Why she was in a wheelchair
The strongest girl I ever knew

She never showed her fears
Or let you hear her cries
She never showed the tears
That fell down from her eyes
The strongest girl I ever I knew
