SHE SAID, SHE WAS COMING BACK, AFTER A CHECKUP; IN A HOSPITAL, I KNOW NOT WHERE! WE SAT DOWN FOR BREAKFAST, THE DAY BEFORE; AND SHE TOLD ME, OUR BOND WAS SO RARE; SHE JUMPED UP, GAVE ME A BIG HUG, AND SAID; MY DARLING, TRAVIS; TAKE CARE! COULD IT BE, THERE'S SOMETHING SHE'S NOT TELLING ME? I TOLD MYSELF, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG; SHE'LL RETURN, AFTER HER CHECKUP, AND OUR DAYS, WILL AGAIN BE, FILLED, WITH SONG! WHEN THE NEWS CAME, THE NEXT DAY, I WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK; I CRIED; DEAR LORD; PLEASE, TURN BACK THE CLOCK; PLEASE, DON'T TAKE MY MOM; TAKE ME, INSTEAD! I THEN RAN TO THE EMPTY ROOM, TO LAY ON HER BED; I PROMISE YOU MOM; I WILL MAKE YOU, SO PROUD; YOUR BABY BOY, SHALL STAND OUT, IN A CROWD!
