Not in Vain
If I can stop one heart
from breaking
I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one lifethe aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
Emily Dickinson
Declaration of Imperfection
I am not perfect.
I live on the planet Earth.
That is where humans live.
Humans are not perfect.
Never have been. Never will be.
So I don't always wear the right clothes
And I don't always use the right fork.
My memory sometimes fails me.
I don't always look like a fashion model.
I don't cook like a French chef.
I can't always do
I am human. I am inperfect.
But there is no one else like me
in the whole wide world.
I am unique. I am a miracle.
