What Cancer Cannot Do...

Cancer is so Limited...

It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot suppress memories,
It cannot silence courage,
it cannot invade the soul,
It cannot steal eternal life,
It cannot conquer the spirit.

My Great-uncle John just died in May. He is the first of my Granddad's (mom's dad) four brothers and two sisters to pass away, and my Granddad is taking it pretty hard because he's the only one that doesn't live up in the Platte City/Kansas City area and he couldn't make it up there for the funeral because of his health. This poem was on the back of the funeral program and I read it this morning and liked it.
