by Teresa Denton
I walk along the path of life;
I see the suffering & strife.
HIV has invaded my land,
How can I give a helping hand?
First try to break the shame,
Call HIV & AIDS by name.
Encourage all to have a test,
Stigma must now be put to rest.
The negative to stay virus free,
Their future will begin with me.
The positive to hold their heads high,
First crawl, then walk & finally fly!
I walk along the path of life;
I see the suffering & strife.
HIV has invaded my land,
I can & will give a helping hand!
