Not In Vain 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
Though I Am Dead Though I am dead grieve not for me with tears think not of death with sorrowing and tears; I am so near that every tear you shed touches and tortures me though you think me dead. But when you laugh and sing in glad delight, my soul is lifted upward to […]
