You walked along the wrong path
For a very long time,
You stopped when you knew
You had crossed the line.
It took something very wrong
To make something very right,
Before you were in darkness
And now you're in the light.
You learned bad experiences
You almost lived in hell,
You learned possibilities
You were saved by the bell.
The "virus" I call the bell
Because it opened up your soul,
Before the world was over you
But now you're in control.
This time God really barked
He barked, but didn't bite,
It just scared you enough
To make you want to fight.
In your old path of life
You refused your way out,
But now you finally realized
What life is really about.
When you discovered your disease
You thought you were said and done,
Not realizing at all
Your life had just begun.
Now you're on the road
Now you must keep on living,
Testify your experiences
And heal by giving.
Enjoy your living life
Let go of all your fears,
Remember all the laughter
And forget about the tears.
Life can be very long
It can also be short,
Just have proof of innocence
When you reach heavens court.
Oh sister you're in my heart
And this poem I had to write,
Before you were in darkness
But now you're in the light
I love you! I
can't wait to see you again!
I miss you!
But until then......
This poem was dedicated to my dear sister Maria who died to AIDS...I miss her so much!
