Dying Wish at the Altar (Country Version)
Lyrics
A mom’s desire granted, her son planted
Ring on finger of the one he loves
Being committed to bliss
Is her only wish
Grateful to the one up above
With surprise of diagnosis, cancer’s short notice
How long she’ll have on this Earth
Something no one can flee
But determined to see
At the altar who she gave birth
Battle has begun, little emotions shown
Showing strength and courage
From powers deep inside
It takes time to thrive
The flower of her life will flourish
Her infectious smile, longing for the aisle
Gives her calming peace
Pushing to survive the fight
With all her inner might
For the pain to release
The day finally came, a bride to share name
Celebration of life and laughter
Their vows were revealed
Ink signed and sealed
Loves her truly as a daughter
Months pass by, holding on to survive
Inside cancer has taken toll
Holding hand in bed
Life’s stories told and read
Soon slipped away her soul
At the trail, her legacy will tell
Stories of love and affection
Nearing fifty years of commitment
Her son will remember and lament
True powers of her reflection
