Sorrow



If I can stop one Heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease on Life the Aching
Or cool one Pain
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again
I shall not live in Vain

Dickenson
No. 919 [c. 1864]

A friend of mine was gravely ill and it resulted in her baby being stillborn on Christmas Day.
