WHAT CANCER CAN'T DO It cannot cripple love, It cannot shatter hope, It cannot corrode faith, It cannot eat away at peace, It cannot destroy 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, OUR GREATEST ENEMY IS NOT THE DISEASE but DESPAIR Max A.
