Not In Vain

8 10 2011

By Emily Dickinson

If I can stop one heart from breaking,

I shall not live in vain

If I can ease one life the aching

Or cool one pain

Or help one fainting robin

Unto his nest again

I shall not live in vain

I love how simply the poem states what life should be about. Thank you for posting it, my dear friend.
Love, Petra
