For the days when it seems like all is in vain (like these days)

For the times when the pain is too great, and the fatigue is too much, this is what keeps me going....

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
