Cancer is Limited

The following was found by an elderly friend of mine in the Bible of his older sister after she had passed away from breast cancer. He belongs to a family where there is a strong family link for breast cancer. I am passing it on.

Cancer is Limited

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 reduce Eternal Life
It cannot quench the Spirit
It cannot lessen the power
Of the Resurrection.

Regards

Sailor

It certainly does and sometimes I think that it must be of benfit for so many who have their faith to be able to fall back on it during tough times.Is fall back the right word?
I have often considered my spirituality and it often just creates more questions than answers for me and at times I envy those who are convinved of their path.

I am not a religious person Sailor, but the hope that this simple poem contains must be of benefit to all.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Samex

I too felt that it was a poem of hope, regardless of any religious persuasion, so hope that it is of benefit to someone. Sometimes I think in our desire not to offend anyone we forget that religion does bring hope to a lot of people.
