Cancer is limited

For 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 cancel Resurrection.
Can cancer conquer you?
I doubt it, for the strengths I see
in you have nothing to do
with cells and blood and muscle.
