Hope Beyond Red Ribbon

A red thread we wear with pride,
For the love that won’t subside.
In shadows deep; the fight was born,
Yet through the dark, a new dawn shone.

A virus does not define the soul,
Courage and strength play the role.
The world unites to heal the scars,
With hope that shines like endless stars.

Science and care; a hand in hand,
Breaking chains, we boldly stand.
No stigma, no shame; only grace,
Compassion shines on every face.

For those we've lost; we shed a tear,
For those who fight; we persevere.
Together, the world will find its way,
To brighter tomorrows on World AIDS Day.
