Hi Friends,
I bought the cutest little book of book marks, published by Dover, at my public library's store. You tear out the book marks along the perforations.
Each bookmark has a different poem, each with a garden painting.
Here is a favorite:
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.
Do y'all love this like I do? Well written Miss Emily.
such a precious sentiment!
ReplyDeleteBuetiful poem! Wouldn't the world be a wondeful place if everyone felt that way?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Dawn
This is so beautiful Just the cry of my heart

ReplyDeleteYes, Terra, I absolutely love that verse. That would be my heart's desire, too, to help someone along life's way. Thank you for visiting me at Bunny Cottage and following along with me.

One of the sad things about my Kindle...no more bookmarks:( A friend bought me a beautiful one from Brighton for my b-day...and it just sits there on the shelf staring at me. Thanks for coming by today. Holly
ReplyDeleteI love Emily Dickinson!
ReplyDeleteI love that poem, too, Terra. My daughter and I visited Emily Dickinson's home in western Mass a few years ago. What a wonderful day we had.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing how you have decorated your Mary garden statue. I love that you have planted "mary" flowers around her!
Have a wonderful weekend!!
