I Shall Not Live 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

    According to astrology, Emily was born with her Sun in Sagittarius and her Moon in Virgo...

    What a gentle soul she was... As you are.
