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.I discarded my long list of resolutions and replaced it with a single promise to myself: Face each new day, resolving not to pass up opportunities to make it a happy one for a fellow human being. Four words sum up the secret to not living in vain: Serve others — serve God.
