Pink Ribbon

I’ll tie a pink ribbon in my hair for you
So I can fight your battle too
To symbolize your courage true
I’ll tie a pink ribbon in my hair for you

Pink ribbon to make others aware
Of how very much I care
Show the world a problem’s there
The soft pink ribbon in my hair

And so I sing Linda’s song
And try to make a few others strong
You know I’ve loved you all along
This is my Aunt Linda’s song

I’ll tie a pink ribbon in my hair
And sing your song…

    A wonderful tribute. And, unfortunately one that will touch many readers because I don't think there are many people out there who have not been touched by cancer in some way. Here's one of mine... allpoetry.com/Poem/924457

    There's something very inspirational about this. Aunt Linda's suffering and death inspired you to try to help others. A very productive and empowering way to mourn...Aunt Linda would approve.
    Bless you-

    This is a very sad poem because it was inspired by your aunt, but also one with hope. The more research that goes into cancer, the less often people such as your Aunt Linda will have to suffer as the more possible it will be to find a cure . A wonderful poem, I liked it's hopeful message and it's strength
