My Love for you grows along the way,
planted years ago on an October day.
When you held my hand as if to say,
Will you be my friend let’s go play.
We spent time together on the bay,
Picking up sea shells along the way.
Holding hands, playing, enjoying the day,
Watching the glorious sunset of God's array.
We laughed and cried and have had to pay,
For the times that forever seemed so gray.
Time has passed and My Love continues today,
Years after that October day.
The years come and go, I continue to pray,
You will kneel beside me in prayer one day.
Allowing God to join us and be gay,
As My Love For You Grows Along the Way.

About Me
- Christine Harris
- I am a vibrant woman embracing and living life during my Forty something years all while managing HIV/AIDS. I live in rural America where HIV is not the main topic discussed at the dinner table. In fact, it is so taboo that it isn't discussed at all. The jokes, put downs and verbal snarls of assumptions which fly out of the mouths of people as if they know what they are talking about is what I hope to change with this blog. So, my coming out has happened everywhere except in my home community. Not because I care if people know I live with a chronic disease as do many of the people that walk the streets of our town. It is because the disease I live with comes with such strong stigma, ridicule and prejudice that I can not expose those closest to me to that kind of inhumane hostility, judgement and hatred that stems from the labeling of living with HIV/AIDS, regardless of how it is acquired. I am the founder of a nonprofit clothing closet, Christine's Closet which helps people in transition to improve and empower their lives by projecting a positive appearance.
