The Invisible Hand
by Shelley

Where do us HIV+ people go to
find comfort for our pain?

What church do we migrate to
where we are not made to feel ashamed?

Will the ignorance of this world
prevent us from worshiping our God

So secretly we attend our place of worship.

Arriving late and leaving early so to
avoid a lethal hug or handshake.

We hid in our darkness as the prayer requests ring out.

Do I dare say I need Prayer!
They may think something is wrong with me.

I raise my invisible hand to my invisible God.

Oh God, you got to help me!
Place your healing hand on me, I pray.

I feel a surge of strength in my soul
as I leave my place of worship.

My God knows my secret, my dilemma.
He knows yours too.

The Most Beatuiful Love
by Danita

I have the most beautiful love imaginable.
As I write my eyes swell up with tears.
He is often a fiesty little creature
and surely an angel in disguise.
Unfortunately, he wears the naughty boy label.
My shorty likes to holler and tumble and bounce,
making this first time mom's heart full of fears.

Oh, what a joker he is with his fancy laugh.
He likes to be tickled and he loves to be surprised.
Jr. has a great disposition, and it doesn't
hurt to have beautiful features.
Some say he is a handful and it's very true.
And so what, he's my sugar pie.
I give my all for the apple of my eye.

I HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOVE IMAGINABLE!

I will say it loud, so that the whole world will know.
And yes, he may color his room all blue.
Buy my guy loves me unconditionally and I him,
with every fiber of my soul, and each and every ounce.
So I boast because I am proud.
I have the most beautiful love imaginable
and when I talk about him, it shows.

¿Adonde vamos nosotros los VIH positivos para encontrar alivio para nuestro dolor?

¿A que iglesia podemos ir donde no nos hacen sentir verguenza?

¿La ignorancia de este mundo nos impedira de alabar a nuestro Dios?

Por eso asistimos en secreto a nuestra iglesa.

Llegamos tarde y salimos temprano para evitar el abrazo letal o el cierre de manos.

Nos escondimos en nuestra oscuridasd mientras que los rezos individuales suenan en voz alta.

¿Me arriesgo a decir que preciso yo de una oracion? Pensaran que hay algo que no va bien conmigo.

Alzo mi mano invisible a mi Dios invisible. Ay, DIos, ¡me tienes que ayudar!

Tocame con tu mano sanadora, yo lo ruego. Siento surgir la fuerza en mi alma al salir de la iglesia.

Mi Dios sabe mi secreto, mi dilema. Mi Dios sabe el tuyo tambien.

El amor mas bello
Por Danita

Yo poseo el amor mas bello imaginable al escribir se llenan mis ojos de lagrimas. suele ser una criatura rebelde pero seguaramente es un angel disfrazado. Desgraciadamente, lleva la etiqueta de nino travieso. A mi bajito le gusta gritar y dar volteretas, Como es mi primer hijo eso llena mi corazon de miedos. Que bufon es con su risa estrafalaria. Le gustan las cosquillas y le gusdta que le sorprenda Tiene buena disposicion y no esta mal tener una cara linda. Algunos dicen que es revoltoso y esto si es la verdad. Pero que importa, el es la nina de mis ojos Yo me doy entera para mi pedacito de alma. ¡ Yo se que ha colorido su cuarto enteramente de azul. Pero mi hombrecito me quiere sin condiciones, y yo lo quiero a el de la misma manera. Lo quiero con mi alma entera. Me jacto porque soy orgullosa. Tengo el amor mas bello imaginable y cuando hablo de el, se ve.
