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

Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

Its nice to hear something nice about oneself. I am feeling rather lonely and unloved today.
*sigh*
Sorry to hear that. We all have those days. Go for a run, or watch a movie, or read a book. Or read my blog :)
