listen to my heart speak.Please look at me and see I am just a child Trying to live with AIDS / HIV. It was given to me by my mother, Passed on to me at birth, And now, I'm trying to live my life, Giving it my best while here on earth. Listen to my heart speak To those whe are afraid. Showing kindness, touching, and hugging me Will not give you HIV or AIDS. I know what it feels like to live with pain. When people I love are sick and go away, Smiling and laughing sometimes can be a stran. Listen to my heart speak. Please, please hear what I say. Let us love each other, For I, like you, may be here just for today.
