POEM
If I Can Stop One Heart from Breaking
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,
O help
one fainting robin
Unto
his nest again,
I
shall not live in vain.
SCRIPTURE
Matthew 14:13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by
ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard
thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. 14 And
Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with
compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
“What are you doing with and for the people with whom God has
placed you in contact with?” JAS
