It Is Enough!
Marvelous angels all. Children coming through the door. Poor, but needing love just the same.
What manner of love could meet the needs of babies - reeking of vomit - bleeding from infections
- crying from incontinence as babies do -
Yet what manner of love could meet the needs of babies - needing love from mothers - but mothers dieing themselves of HIV gone crazy - gone wild - gone to its end game - death.
Yet what manner of love could meet the needs of babies - feverish infants - suffering illness designed for full grown adults, yet poured into undersized containers - babies - not meant for full sized diseases -
Yet what manner of love could meet - can meet - the needs of hundreds, thousands of these babies
What manner of love can do this miraculous thing? Your love can! My love can! Gods love can!
It is no impossible thing - Just love wherever you are - wherever you find the need -
Wherever you find the babies,
Wherever you find the kids,
The adults, the old people, the sick, the hungry, the sad, the confused,The discouraged, the lonely,
The unforgiven, the hurting -
The person on your block, The person next to you, You yourself,
Did I mention the babies?
And, what manner of love could meet such needs?
Your love - wherever it is - wherever it is needed - It is enough!

O sweet child of A.I.D.S.
O how I feel for you
Your innocence denied
Fun but a memory replaced by pain
You sweet, sweet child
How
Within her chest
Lies a heart in pain.
No ability to scream
No one to blame
The shame is hers
To bear alone
The disease has
