Emily Dickinson Rocks My Socks

If I can stop one heart the aching

Or cool one pain

Or help one fainting robin

Into his nest again

I shall not have lived in vain.

Christmas is coming. And until then I find this poem by Emily motivating to keep going at school. Usually about now I uproot and go back to the farm. I have to think that I'm still here to make life a little easier for someone else. And then be alert for those opportunities. And then I have good days.
