if i had a wishing well
i would ask god to make you well
i would also ask for peace of mind
i would also ask on this weekend of pride
that all my friends in heaven will surround me
dance with me again
celebrate the way when we were young
before all the loss and the pain
if i could only hold you in my arms again
letting the laughter and happiness surround us
i want you to know that i could never have
come into my own without you
even though you are not with me on earth
i have my memories
you are my lifetime
so i will head down to the parade on Sunday and march
with tears in my eyes i will also celebrate all of my dearest friends
who are alive positive negative gay straight and bi
you are all a blessing and have given me wings to fly
i love you all my rainbow tribe
shall we all gather up our love for each-other like sisters
and brothers
know this is our day
and what i want to say
is that no matter what is going on
our voice must carry on
march my friends and loved ones
there is much work to be done
so on Sunday when i wake
i will celebrate
its all for you
this day of pride
bless you
for
being
alive........
Please tell me what you think

i LOVE IT
this poem makes me feel happy as well as sad.... i love the rainbow part -
This is actually a positive message of tolerance and love.

Life should be free of such segregation and this poem shows the defiance needed in the world to bring about acceptance. Live and let live, here's to pride!

It's a great statement for living life to the full and I hold nothing against ant sexual orientation...just go and LIVE!
All the best...Sue

I think it's a little weak as a poem, but very strong as a manifesto and a celebration.

I cannot join you in an appeal to god because I do not have one. However I am certainly in favour of celebrating all of my friends, and indeed nearly everyone else, just for being alive. It certainly doesn't matter if they are gay straight or bi. Except to say that if my wife isn't around all the men should be gay and the women straight or bi so I am the only man available for them
