TO ROBERT MY FRIEND

Contributed by lemmen on Sunday, 6th November 2005 @ 04:27:44 AM in AEST
Topic: InspirationalPoems



My dear friend ROBERT.
Your one of the first.
Still living with AIDS.
Taking life one day at a time.
Your one of a kind.
Still alive after all these years.

Don't give up the battle now
in tears.

You've had HIV since 85
AIDS since 90.
You've proven them wrong
you can survive,
AIDS.

Your a great man with lot's to
teach.
To young people such as me.
Who live with AIDS.
Your a testament to the
strength of human will.

Against this curse of man's
creation.
What is your secret my friend
to life
How have you made it so far
where other's have not?

You are one of the strongest people I know.
Don't let other's bring you down.
Don't let them take your sprit
away.

You can teach so many your secrets
to life.
It's not just the med.'s that keep
you alive.
I believe there something special
within you.
Some special force I believe.
The hand of GOD is upon you
in some way.
Your life is a symbol to me and
others.
A dream I'm striving for just to
live as long as you.

You can't let them bring you down.
Everyone is tested in life some
more than others.
But you my friend I respect.

Please don't end it.
Grow from it.
Let it make you stronger.
Take what has happen and shove
it in their face.
Like you did to society with AIDS.

You've proven it can done,
You've proven it to me.
There's nothing the human will
cannot defeat.
There's nothing you cannot defeat.

I'm just a friend.
Just someone with AIDS like you.

I just care ROBERT.
I care for you.

Peace my friend.
Just always know I'm here
to listen.
You'll always have a
friend named DENNIS.
