Pink Ribbon Cure
By: Patty Fitzpatrick ,
a volunteer at the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund
Pink ribbons reached our inner circle
one gloomy day in two thousand five.
Pink ribbons now a part of our lives
only time will tell if our dear friend survives.
Remember the days when they were
just another ribbon without much meaning.
Not that we didn’t care much
we were immune and we were gleaming.
We knew the connotation of the
pretty pink ribbon and it left us shaken.
It meant our bodies could be changed
it meant our lives could be forsaken.
So instead we chose to ignore it
maybe it would go away.
It was someone else’s quandary
and for it we refused to sway.
Swayed not until it reached our inner circle
then we swayed like a lions roar.
To do away with every pink ribbon
we must somehow find a cure.
I volunteer my time now
time once thought was spent so wisely.
Only too sad to find out,
it’s only now I have begun to spend it wisely.
I found a group who raises funds
to help find the pink ribbon cure.
This fund is named after a special sweet lady
God blessed her with famous sons for sure.
It is absolutely amazing
to see the funds their names can raise.
I say this after witnessing a celebrity auction
and for this I give them so much praise.
For when the pink ribbons are finally all gone,
these sons will know for sure.
They did all they could to help find
the famous Pink Ribbon Cure.
