lights to live by....

If i can stop one heart from breaking

I shall not live in vain;

If i can case life that's aching

Or cool one pain;

Or help one fainting robin

Unto his nest again,

I shall not live in vain.

-Emily Dukinson

You call me master, and obey me not

You call me light, and seek me not;

You call me life, and desire me not;

You call me wise, and follow me not;

You call me fair, and love me not;

You call me rich, and ask me not;

You call me gracious, and trust me not;

You call me noble, and serve me not;

You call me mighty, and honour me not;

You call me just, and fear me not;

If i condemn you, blame me not;
