Hope is.....

Hope is the thing with feathers,

 that perches in the soul,

 and sings the tune without words, 

and never stops at all.

~~Emily Dickinson

If I can stop one heart from breaking.....

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
