Over the next several months, I will be sharing with you my favorite poems written by my favorite poets. I do hope you enjoy them.
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.
