Thank you Ms Dickinson for your poetry! Some of my favorites are:
A word is dead
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.
--------------------
We never know how high we are
We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise;
And then, if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies.
The heroism we recite
Would be a daily thing,
Did not ourselves the cubits warp
For fear to be king.
-------------------------
Surgeons Must Be Careful
Surgeons must be very careful
When they take the knife!
Underneath their fine incisions
Stirs the Culprit,--Life!
-------------------
Not In Vain
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.
A word is dead
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.
--------------------
We never know how high we are
We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise;
And then, if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies.
The heroism we recite
Would be a daily thing,
Did not ourselves the cubits warp
For fear to be king.
-------------------------
Surgeons Must Be Careful
Surgeons must be very careful
When they take the knife!
Underneath their fine incisions
Stirs the Culprit,--Life!
-------------------
Not In Vain
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.
