Friday Favorites: If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking

Friday Favorites: If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking

December 26, 2025
~by Emily Dickinson~
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.
