NOT IN VAIN
Emily Dickinson ( 1830- 1886)
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 was introduced to this poem by a student ( I still remember her name.) in my Honors English class as a new teacher.

Yes, Emily was able to make us feel such wonder through her poetry, and this comes from a tremendous state of mind.
Thank you, Barbara!
