LOVE

“It’s cancer
And it’s really bad”

That was the
Explosive remark
From the Doctor
With no bedside manner

Then came the
Whirlwind of activity
The tsunami of
Information and
Choices to make
About who, what
When, where and why

Finally decisions
And a path forward
And hope for a longer
Life and more years
Of joy

Every day was full
Of intimacy
And more than
Anything cancer
Then became a journey
About love.
