Making Positive, Positive: Hope Song For Plwhas
When is positive negative
Or right wrong?
It is when living positive
I am living positive:
Now, more responsibly
I take responsibility for all my actions;
My life in my hands
I choose life over death
Wellness over sickness
I am a living ‘positive’
Now, more rightly, living and doing
Surrounded by all that is positive
I make the best of now
Enjoy this moment, one at a time
I am overcoming positive
With gratitude for everyday mercies
Finding and enjoying beauty and bounties, abound about:
the smile of a child; the chirps of the birds
the swinging music of the street trees;
I am positive; HIV positive
I am a living witness; a survivor of the scourge
I am living, I am positive
Positively positive
I am a HIV survivor
Beyond the put down of virus
Above societal stigma
I am living, I live
Making positive, positive.
