"Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality." - Emily Dickinson


Listen, dear one, listen close:

I have some advice for you.

And though I am still quite young, 

I’ve learned a thing or two.


When the world is cruel and your soul hurts;

When you’re crying on the bathroom floor;

When you feel as if you’ll rip out your heart

And shove it in a drawer,


Stay gentle, stay soft;

Do the best that you can;

Spread kindness instead of hate.

It may be hard, but I now know

That rage only deepens the wound.
