how can they speak
          without a voice

don’t blame them
          they had no choice

How dare you judge
just let them be!

would you be treated
          as unfairly?

take a stand
       remember the lost

AIDS is a price

lost friends

the cost


In memory of those whose lives have been taken. In hope that there will be no more......

and yet we know there will be more ...
more tears... more innocent victims... more losses ... more squares on the quilt ... more pain ...
but there is also hope ... and research...
and if there is understanding and compassion...there is always a chance to create changes...
thank you for this reminder and tribute Sharon...very much

Danced butterflies in the wild
This angel, this woman ,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.
