Hope

It's been three months exactly since my family and I found out about Sarah's death. A wonderful friend of mine gave me this poem so I could find just a little bit of comfort....

Hope
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
