Red Ribbons
Streaming red ribbons free in the winds
Captured and tied but loose on the ends
Swirled around box's ready to send
Bows become presents when red ribbons bend
Hearts and red ribbons always blend
Til death do us part red ribbons defend
Hands that tie ribbons are there for the lend
Red ribbons always on their way to mend
Forgiveness and trust sometimes they tend
Magic in satin to love with no end
Thanks to red ribbons, love and a friend
