    The poem describes a girl who was paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Due to her paralysis, she was unable to do things that many take for granted like dancing, attending her prom, kissing, getting married, or physically expressing affection. However, despite these limitations, she never showed fear or cried in front of others, looking for pity. For enduring her disabilities with strength and bravery, the narrator considers her the strongest girl he ever knew.

    The Strongest Girl I Ever Knew

    Published: January 2009

    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.

    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.

    She couldn't clasp her hands


    As if in the form of prayer.
    She couldn't understand
    Why she was in a wheelchair.

    She never showed her fears


    Or let you hear her cries.
    She never showed the tears
    That fell down from her eyes.

    She never looked for pity


    Or sympathy from you.
    That's why she'll always be
    The strongest girl I ever knew.
