I currently reside in Texas where I haveestablished my home and lead a solitarylife. I am 28-year survivor of HIV whichcontracted through a blood transfusionwhile serving in the military in 1983, following an oral surgery procedure. Inmy retirement, I have dedicated my timeto fishing, engaging in home improvementprojects, and pursuing my long-standingpassion for writing songs and poems which Ihave honed over a period of 35 years. I alsowould like to dedicate this book to my oldersister, Alice, who is turning 70 this year.As an individual imbued with a strong sense of spirit, I believe that all ofus possess an innate potential for compassion, albeit to varying degrees.Through my poetry, I seek to convey this inherent quality to those whomay not be fully aware of it, but who need gentle reminders that they tooare capable of empathy. I trust that my literary works will bring peace ofmind and awareness to individuals navigating the stresses of our fast-paced, ephemeral existence, and provide solace by imbuing hope for a bettertomorrow, informed by my personal experiences. Ultimately, my objectiveis to leave behind a brief legacy that inspires others to connect with theirhumanity and the compassion that resides within them.
