Diane Sawyer mentioned Friday morning on ABC's "Good Morning America" program that this Emily Dickinson poem is Elizabeth Edwards' favorite. Hope
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.
--Emily Dickinson

Thanks for inserting that in your blog. My heart goes out to Elizabeth Edwards and her family. I saw them interviewed on "60 Minutes" last night. They are truly the faces of courage, faith and hope. Those things are somewhat lacking in this world. May God Bless them, smile on them and fill them with love and strength as they face this latest challenge.
