Another week of worry and then great news came. Julia was able to remove her vent. Though the battle ahead is long, the warrior in Jules is strong.
Continue to pray, hope, and keep the positive vibes coming.
All week, while I thought of Julia, her family, and her battle, I heard one of my poems. It has also served as a source of strength, and I thought that it was appropriate to share with all today.
Stay brave and strong!
“Hope” is the thing with feathers
“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.
