What Cancer Cannot Do

What Cancer Cannot Do

It cannot steal eternal life
invade the soul
shatter hope.

Cancer cannot
destroy peace
suppress memories
silence courage
conquer the spirit
kill friendship
corrode faith
cripple love.


I don't know who wrote this beautiful poem about what cancer cannot do. I don't even remember accurately where I found it; I think it was at the American Cancer Society website. I'm glad whoever wrote it decided to share it with others. And I share it with you, to share with those you know are facing or have faced their own journey through cancer. It cannot silence courage... it cannot corrode faith... it cannot cripple love.
