Hope

Emily Dickinson (1830–86).

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.

In times of trials and tribulation, our hope of the future spurs us on, gives us the strength to bear today for a better tomorrow. What is this hope of mine? That keeps my eyes on tomorrow ?.... FERNS ALBUM!!
