Gloria Casarez is someone

Someone who has done many things

Such as creating better housing

And by making LGBTQ+ people feel safe

Gloria has done this

In many ways

But most importantly

By creating a culture of community

She was very dedicated

To making Philadelphia 

Feel more accepting 

And wanted it to feel safe

Gloria did all of this

By being a policymaker

And served as a director

Of LGBTQ+ affairs

Gloria accomplished some other things, too

By bringing forth a bill of equality

And organizing some marches

And bringing people together

Gloria has made a big impact

In many communities

Especially the ones she's a part of

Such as the LGBTQ+ and the Latino communities

She's had an impact on them both

By doing activism work

Giving them recognition

And making them feel at home and not alone

Gloria was also kind and generous

Helping anyone in need

And giving them the time of day

Regardless of who they are

She's done many more things

Such as becoming an executive director

And building testing centers

And even starting a march

Gloria's accomplished a lot

She's achieved many things

And helped many more

All in just 42 years
