"What Cancer Cannot Take"

When I got home from the hospital, I had a gift waiting for me from a friend. It was a beautiful mug with the following poem (author unknown):

What Cancer Cannot Take From You

It cannot take away
your faith, shatter
your hope
or lessen your love.
It cannot destroy true
friendship,
invade the soul or take
away eternal life.
It cannot conquer
your spirit.

How true! If anything, it brings out the best in some people and guides you to your true friends. It puts you at the center of of many prayers and that is a humbling experience!
