Hi there,
The school where I teach is doing a "Relay for Life". The purpose of the event is to raise awareness, remember those who have lost their lives to cancer, celebrate the survivors and raise money for cancer research. I have been asked to provide something for the "kick off" assembly on Monday...talk about short notice!! Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm looking for anything such as poems, songs, pictures, video...would anyone be interested in writing a short story that I could share? Thanks in advance, Celina |
*** What Cancer Cannot Do ***
Cancer is so limited- It cannot cripple love It cannot shatter hope It cannot corrode faith It cannot destroy peace It cannot kill friendships It cannot suppress memories It cannot silence courage It cannot invade the soul It cannot steal eternal life It cannot conquer the spirit . ~*~Source Unknown~*~ |
Thank you so much...I love it and will have one of my students read it. (I think I'm too emotional to read it myself.)
Any other poems or thoughts would be appreciated. |
Here is a couple taken from a calender from my support group.
I do not carry a weapon I have not gone to war Yet my battles are the toughest of any fought so far. Some bravery is measured by medals they may give But nothing really can compare to that courageous fight to live. For those who fight this battle for those who stand close by For those who've won and those who will and those who no more cry. It's for all us many women who've been pushed into this rink That I proudly wear this honor my medal....a ribbon of pink. The journey of a thousand miles begins with just ONE STEP. Hugs Sheila |
