Her Mother and I


Who gives...? It's really hard to say;
she isn't ours to give, you know.
God lent us Dana till today.

We've always known her love would grow
another family all their own.
this woman to...? Our child's become
adult so soon... and fully grown?

my shoulder, hand, foot, leg — all numb...
be married...? uh... I've just come to —
yes, surely it's a dream — Say what?

Her... to this man? ...
Is he grown too?
I offer Glenn her hand now... but

you see a tear grow in each eye?

All right... Her mother does... and I.

Best of luck in the battle! vic.gif
