"Listen to the children who come to you, and see them,
really see them. Practice the ancient art from a lost tribe.
Be a guardian of their hearts. If only for a moment,
reflect their hearts to them." Yanon Volcani, Ph.D., CSPP
- San Diego, 1996

written by
Stephanie Ray.
She wrote them as a young child. She is
now 18 years old. Stephanie has been infected with the HIV virus
since birth. The first poem (on the left) was brought to my
attention by Jim Jenkins, founder of the Children
With AIDS Project of America. The second poem appeared on the Camp Heartland Web Site.
