If  I Can

If  I Can

 

“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.”

--Emily Dickinson's

 

If I can make one pain

 Of a life living in vain

Or feel too ashamed to live on

I shall not live in vain
