It may physically destroy your body But it can’t slay your spirit It can emotionally obliterate your mind But it won’t affect your soul It can worry your loved ones But it won’t **** friendships It could weaken your abilities But it will not suppress your memories It might lessen your bravery But it shouldn’t silence your courage It may **** your cells But it can’t invade your soul It will frighten your family and friends But it will not take away their love It can subside your faith But it will only make you further appreciate life It will make you stop focusing on the negatives And start bringing the positives to your attention You will overcome temporary setbacks And become a stronger person You will look forward to each new day And stop worrying about the bad ones You won’t over look natures beauty And you will appreciate sunrises, sunsets and thunderstorms You’ll step off of the shore line and into the ocean And feel exhilarated, like that’s the only feeling you want to feel Cancer might lessen your bravery But you can’t let it silence your courage
