Stronger Confidence

There is a little anonymous poem that is passed around a lot of cancer circles, its posted on clinic bulletin boards and written in cards shared over the internet. It even has several different versions and i haven’t a clue who wrote the original or even which version was the first, but i think it holds a lot of wisdom not only for cancer patients but for anyone going through tough times. Here is how it goes:

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 invade the soul.
It cannot steal eternal life.
It cannot quench the spirit.
It cannot lessen the power of resurrection.
