AIDS
by Judy Burnette
AIDS was always just a word yet now it bears your name; But it has not changed how I feel I love you just the same. We should never judge another with thoughtless words or deeds; For we all have within us wounds that have made us bleed. So you have an illness none of us quite understand; It doesn't make you less a person nor less a man. You are still that same sweet person that I have always known; No matter the distance between us in my heart you will always have a home.
