Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

A Bigger Life

some days you may
be low on strength
i’ll give you mine
life is bigger than cancer

we feed off each other
the closeness of our bond
finishing each other’s
thoughts and sentences

your smile your touch 
there’s magic in the details
in the togetherness of you and i
in life being bigger than cancer

Timothy Mcguire July 15, 2019 at 11:43 PM A FAV for me, beautiful. You are right, Life, love, commitment, moments, intimacy are bigger than cancer. Cancer is a mere interruption of the beauty that will follow you and your loved one all through eternity someday. God bless you and yours.

Panagiota Romios July 14, 2019 at 1:33 PM I never had cancer and can't imagine going through it alone, nor being brave. I would need others, for sure.

Jeanne Mcgee July 14, 2019 at 12:37 AM Yes, with someone there by your side it would be so much easier. I went through a bout myself while alone. Nicely penned.
