Hello,

This is Rachel Boucher and I am sharing with you a poem about hope by 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.

What brings you hope?

What gives you hope?

Talk about it with a friend,

Write about it in your journal or share on social media.

I love this poem by Emily Dickinson. Well read ! What gives me hope is my faith in goodness ..in love winning over hate , poems like this , music , good friends , beautiful innocent babies being born , unconditional love… the fact that even though there’s cruelty in the world~ love overthrows it. Together we can change the world .. one small voice ,blending with a million .. a billion more . Hope floats 💫🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💫

I love Hope. The poem is so powerful. Emily Dickinson was one of the most influential authors I do believe.

What brings me Hope is animals and nature. Jesus brings me hope and also, my mindset.
