A POEM ABOUT CANCER
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 shut our memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot reduce eternal life
It cannot quench the Spirit
It cannot lessen the power
Of the Resurrection.
Our greatest enemy
Is not disease,
But despair.
This poem was passed along to us through the AEDC "Prayer Chain". It originated from a lady whose husband has been fighting cancer for several years.
