The Silver Dragon is a collection of poems which illustrates the real life struggles of just a few of the millions of people, in all walks of life, who are either infected with or caring for someone infected with the hepatitis-c virus. It may surprise you to find out just how you can be unknowingly infected. This virus, for the most part, unknown has no symptoms for as many as 30 or more years and some find out too late that they are in serious trouble with their health. My intentions, in publishing this collection of poems is to bring you to awareness about this misunderstood virus and to cause you to ask yourself whether or not you should be tested.
