Cancer cannot burn love,
Cancer cannot even shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith,
It can't take away peace.
It can't destroy your confidence
It can't kill friendship.
It cannot shut down memories,
It can't silence courage.
It can't invade the soul
It can't reduce eternal life
It can't quench the Spirits
it cannot burn or kill/take away anything but us
