A Poem for World Disability Day

I want to exude love

To have love rain from my pores as during a monsoon

I want others to capture this love and send it around the world

Until we live as one

 

I want to live in a world where people look beyond physical image

Not necessarily at what we accomplish

But at what we are capable of doing

No matter what our physical appearance looks like

Or what are our mental abilities

 

I want to see smiles and understanding reflected back

As if we are always looking into a mirror

People say you choose your own path. However, sometimes the path chooses you and you return to tred it no matter how many more paths you walk on. That path becomes your journey and your destination. It beomes your calling. I entered the field of HIV as a 24 yr old not knowing that it will become my life.
