There is not one single person upon this earth,
that is to be looked down on with any less worth.
For we are all children large and small,
Where illnesses come to call.
We didn't chose the illness it chose us,
and often by others not understanding it can be ruff.
We live on and often alone and afraid,
for a misunderstood illness even this day.
Fear is often an illness and it can cause pain,
Fear of a disease our kindness often restrained.
Loss of life often caught up in the fears today,
from a disease we are all subject to in many ways.
Blood transfusions yet we trust them you see,
and often even the food we eat.
You see when you aren't aware because you cant see it you see,
we also in time may end up with the disease.
Love instead of fear and the knowledge of being safe,
can help those in such need yet such a part we could play.
Life on this earth filled with our own belief-es please hear,
holds those who could help, helpless themselves through fear.
Lets say you found out that you had aides,
tell me what would be the first to go through your mind this day.
You were careful and yet here you are,
and now one so neglected in the dealing of the cards.
Knowledge is the only way so today let us all learn,
often the disease we get the choice wasn't ours in turn.
Know that should you be in their shoes what would you so need,
would you want them to treat you like a leper as you treated me.

Compassion is the healing force we should all bring forward .To make each of our lives the best it can be for the healthy and the sick for no not one of us knows what tomorrow will bring . Put yourself in their shoes and show compassion and find where there is need .
