Cancer is so limited . . .
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot suppress memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot steal eternal life,
It cannot conquer the spirit.

Cancer cannot stop love
Cancer cannot stop laughter
Cancer cannot stop joy
Cancer cannot stop a smile
Cancer cannot stop the sun from shining
Cancer cannot stop hope
Cancer cannot stop belief
Cancer cannot stop faith
Cancer cannot stop me from being here for you whenever you need me
Cancer cannot stop me from loving you
Cancer cannot stop me caring for you
Cancer cannot stop me helping you any way i can
Cancer cannot stop me and
Cancer will not stop you!
