“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.”
♦
This is one of my favorite poems from Emily Dickinson. These words—among others—have helped guide my heart and hand in the care for those suffering.

Lovely poems and quotes shared. It’s been really heartwarming to read through them this morning. Thanks everyone <3
I've always liked the Latin proverb: Fortune favours the brave.
It reminds me that being brave is sometimes the only way to be, even if it means just not giving up.
You are truly so inspiring 🙂
