This is a song that stemmed from yet another friend fighting Breast Cancer...I wanted it to be a love story to reflect, what 'strong marriages , relationships , have showed me..

"Blessed with Pink Ribbons"
(C)2002 Debbie Iammarino/ Jackie Cook

she said"I know you've been wishing
for little footballs and fishing poles"
opening up her hand she asked,
"Do they come in pink, like these ribbons and bows?"
he pulled her close to him smiling,
Thinking of a little girl, bouncing on his knee,
she whispered softly.."Can you see her?"
"Close your eyes,.. tell me what you see"
And he said...

"I see your chestnut hair with pink ribbons,
done up in bows,
that sweet smile of your, that sends me to Heaven,
when I'm feeling low,
But thats as far as my tears will let me see,
I thank God for your love,
Blessed with pink ribbons... for you and me.

she came into their life bringing ,
her sugar kisses and pattycake.
One day he said to his wife,
"No matter what comes, there's nothing we can't face"
Then she found that lump near her heart...
Later, for the first time by the mirror, she cried, "I'm not me"
He held her ,.. looking in her eyes..
and then he said..."I'll tell you what I see"

"I see your chestnut hair with pink ribbon,
Done up in bows,
that sweet smile of yours, that sends me to Heaven,
when I'm feeling low...
And you standing there is what matters most to me,
I thank God for your love,
Blessed with pink ribbons,
Blessed with Pink Ribbons,
Yes.., Blessed with Pink Ribbons..for you and me
