What Cancer Cannot Do

I found this poem in one of the hospital's waiting rooms, if your life (or a life of a loved one) is affected by cancer, I'm sure you will come to appreciate this poem too...I just love it.

What Cancer Cannot Do

Cancer is so limited...

It cannot cripple love,

It cannot shatter hope,

It cannot corrode faith,

It cannot eat away peace,

It cannot destroy confidence,

It cannot kill friendship,

It cannot shut out memories,

It cannot silence courage,

It cannot reduce eternal life,

It cannot quench the spirit,

It cannot lessen the Power

of the Resurrection.
