Text reads: Our forest walk is interrupted by a songbird warbling hope, a resounding sing song swaying summer trees. My dear friend, resilient in his AIDS fight, Looks skyward and says "Yes we hear you, and you are beautiful." Ode to a warbler nesting and unseen. Later by my buddies bedside, infection battle raging, he takes my hand in love. Years pass like falling leaves but I hear his song, hiswords still, And they are beautiful.

Text reads:  You are here and you're worthy and wonderful just like any other human being. Be thankful for your life and celebrate your entire being with the support of those who love, respect and honour you for who you are. There's room in this world for full Diversity, heck that's what makes the world so amazing, interesting and wonderful. We all have something to offer and we all belong. So celebrate you everyday and never stop. Please remember also that education is Key. Unfortunately, a lot of us are ignorant to differences which causes us to disapprove of others that don't share the same views as us. So please be brave and bold and educate with a smile and confidence about the beauty of diversity and inclusiveness when and where ever you can. God Loves You and I Love You. Bless Up, One Love!!
