Cancer

An enthusiastic
believer in Christ, Dan Richardson, lost his battle with cancer. But his life
demonstrated that even though the physical body may be destroyed by disease,
the spirit can remain triumphant. This poem was distributed at his memorial
service:

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 lessen the power of the resurrection.
