~ Jewels Of Love ~
Cancer, such an awesome word
We all dread more than all
Shall we investigate it's
presence
To ponder fear within our soul
Can cancer overtake our life
Or is God the one who holds
Our life within His hand
Rather than a mysterious
unknown
Does He know exactly of our
times
And keep the blueprint of the
plan
Could He hold a lovely secret
To reveal His jewels of love
Preparing us for all in store
above
Can we see the unfolding
blossom
When such suffering comes our
way
To tell us all He'd like to say
Are we given treasured gifts to
ponder
On more of life's tomorrows
To depend on Him for every
breath to keep
To find a peace within the
sorrow
How much more a greater joy
To find, than all we've known
before
A love beyond description
And trust more deep and sure
Friends who touch with sweetest
kindness
In prayer and tenderness
Family that put aside life's
other things
To desire the blessing of God's
best
A miracle of inner grace
Descending in to break the fear
As each new day unfolds
A faith to cradle near
Tears may fall of memories
But are relished more than gold
As God draws us deeper to His
heart
To put His comfort in our soul
Cancer never yet can conquer
life
For life God yet will give
Love's beauty blooms within the
cold
Eternal life our hope to keep
His heart compelled to make us
whole

And the time comes when
remaining tight inside the bud
hurts more than the release of
love to bloom.
Cancer is so limited.
It cannot
Cripple love
Shatter hope
Corrode faith
Destroy peace
Kill friendship
Suppress memories
Silence courage
Invade the soul
Steal eternal life
It cannot
Conquer the Spirit.
