Hope
Hope Is The Thing With Feathers
~Emily Dickinson
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

Thank you, Mel. I think I’m done, too. It’s not as hot here as it is in Texas, but it’s way too hot for me. I’m ready for some cool, crisp mornings and hot apple cider. 😉
