                                                        I am bound in Pink Ribbon

                Can you feel the pain? For some it will defeat them. For others they will rise above it. All are struck by fear of what it can do and what it may mean.

                                                        I am bound in Pink Ribbon

                Yet, I am not a captive. I am hope. Hope for a cure. Hope for lives not yet done. Hope that it will be defeated.

                                                        I am bound in Pink Ribbon

                I will not stop for my hope is eternal. I carry hope that the day will come that all women can stand and be strong. That they will not fear that they will be sentenced to

                be bound in sickness and pain.

                                                        I am bound in Pink Ribbon

                Yet, I am free. I fight and give hope that Breast Cancer will not be the fate of the young women who cone after and for those not yet not yet born.

                                                        I am bound in Pink Ribbon

                                                              I am HOPE!
