What Cancer Cannot Do

Author: Unknown

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.

When I moved here, I was reeling from my sister's diagnosis of colon cancer. As I looked around Kentucky, I saw the harvest wasn't tobacco, bourbon or any cash crop- but there was an abundance of opportunity to grow and reap hope and healing. I love this poem above... and for friends going through treatment, patients who rely on our presence, who require our diligence and care, and to my own family affected....today I send this to you.
