Pink Ribbons
I am a 3 year breast cancer survivor. I was 35 at diagnosis and my goal is to let people know that you are never too young for this disease. I also am BRCA2 positive which means now my kiddos will have to be tested. I wrote a song a while back about it. My daughter composed it(she is 13). My dream is to have Martina sing it! She could do so much to raise awareness!! The link to it on youtube is listed below. It is a simple clip, because I am not a professional(lol). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bReWqRyAVCs
The work is done, she’s finally here
It’s a girl the whole room cheered
We took her home and dressed her up
With all the things a girl’s made of
We put pink ribbons all up in her hair
Her pretty curls everywhere
We stood and smiled at that baby girl
And prayed to God, please watch over her
In this crazy world
So now she’s seventeen and it’s time
That perfect prom dress we set out to find
She spun around and I told her that
Just one more thing before she left
We put pink ribbons all up in her hair
Her pretty curls hangin’ everywhere
We stood and smiled at our baby girl
And prayed to God, please watch over her
In this crazy world
At twenty-six it can’t be true,
The doctor’s tell us what they have to do
She’s just too young is all we could say
As our hearts were breaking that winter day
So now pink ribbons are what WE wear
As her pretty curls are no longer there
We watched them fall to the floor
Have we ever felt so helpless before?
Please God heal her
In this crazy world
There’s so many out there like her
So many out there prayin’
That a cure will be found someday
And all these pink ribbons will fade away
But for now pink ribbons are what we’ll wear
As her pretty curls are no longer there
We watched them fall to the floor
Have we ever felt so helpless before?
Please God heal her, heal her, heal her
In this crazy world

RE: Pink Ribbons
Actually I am working on another one now. Definitely not a heavy song like Pink Ribbons. I just love to write. I think of something and write it down on paper (be it a napkin or a sticky note) and then the next thing I know, I have lots of "papers" and they start telling a story. Alot of times the inspiration comes while I am driving so that can be a little tricky (lol). My daughter is 14 and can play guitar, piano and violin and with all of that we now can come up with music (not something I can do on my own). We are not singers though. That is the hardest part. You have something you feel is great but no one to sing it to make it awesome. I am hoping someday I will find someone to sing Pink Ribbons. I dream big :) Thanks for asking about my songs:)

It's such a beautiful song!
Shine while you have the chance to shine...
Laugh even when you want to cry...
Hold on tight to what you feel inside...
And ride...
Ride, Ride, Ride!!!!

Re: Pink Ribbons
Thanks For The Reminder Ash, How Have You Been Doing??

The World is Old, The World is Gray,
The Lessons of Life can't be Learned in Day.
I Watch and I Wait, And I Listen while I Stand.
To the Music that comes from a far better Land!

Re: Pink Ribbons
Thanks for asking how I have been :) I am doing well. Just moved and life is crazy busy right now. A good busy though. I will be 4 years from diagnosis in just a few months! Woo, hoo! Breast Cancer Awareness Month always makes me want to step up and remind everyone that this can happen to them no matter what age they are! Thanks again for listening to my song. Tell everyone you know about it PLEASE! Maybe just maybe, if enough people show interest, someone (like Martina) will find it and bring even more awareness to this cause.
