PINK RIBBONS

What a precious little girl Standing shyly over there.
Adorned with ruffles and lace With pink ribbons in her hair.

She's just a young child With many years to live,
Rosy cheeks, twinkling eyes, And so much love to give.

She grows a little older, A teen without a care.
It's long hair in ponytails, That hold pink ribbons there.

She lives her life so busily, Rushing here and rushing there.
Her time packed full of fun things, Living life without a care.

The years pass by so swiftly, A career and family for which to care.
Now she has her own little girl With pink ribbons in her hair.

She knows there are important things That she really needs to do,
Like breast self-examinations And regular check-ups too.

She went to see her doctor And heard these words that chilled the air,

"I am so very sorry, But I'm afraid there's cancer there."

She took the news as anyone would, Then gathered her dignity.
She looked at him across the desk And said, "This will not beat me."

The months went slowly by, And chemo took its toll.
It ravaged her body, But couldn't touch her valiant soul.

A few years have come and gone, And she's as strong as ever.
God has surely blessed her. She's what's known as a survivor.

As she travels on through life, There are pink ribbons everywhere.
But now they're not just pretty things To adorn a child's hair.

They are a symbol of faith and courage, That she and others have shown,
Pink ribbons to remind her That she is not alone.

So when you see pink ribbons, Remember why they're there
And silently whisper A special little prayer.

Please God, take away this dreaded thing And make us all aware.
The only thing we need pink ribbons for Is to adorn a small child's hair.
