Walk for a Cure
God’s tears became the healing mist
that touched His children as they
walked hand-in-hand
quietly making a statement that
echoed through the air to reach my ears
as I watched from my apartment window.
Black, White
men, women,
young, old
loving and supporting a cure to an
epidemic meant to bring sorrow and worry;
but today those feelings were wiped away
by love as they marched through
the rain and wind to carry a message
of healing.
