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.
Extinguishing the chalice

Londrelle - Gratitude
I’ve got to be thankful because
I know someone lost their life today
And so every moment I endeavor
To live life the righteous way
To serve with a sense of purpose
And let love light the way
Even if I died today
That’s just the price I paid
Just know I tried to be kind and
Seek the divine every night and day
Gratitude for the sunrise
Gratitude for the sunshine
Gratitude for the moonlight
Every day feels like a new life
Especially when I meditate
Take a breath, and then I elevate
Everything deserves gratitude
That’s my everyday attitude
Gratitude, that’s my everyday attitude. Gratitude
Gratitude, that’s my everyday attitude. Gratitude
Gratitude is the fruit of life
The nourishment of the soul
When there is no food in sight
When your vibrations are low
And you feel blue inside
Gratitude is the attitude that
Gets you through the night
Never believe in lack or limitations
Anything can be manifested
With a little appreciation
I appreciate my life. Asè
I appreciate my breath. Asè
I appreciate my sight. Asè
Gratitude for my health. Asè
Gratitude is the happiest mood
Even if I happen to lose
Everything deserves gratitude
That’s my everyday attitude
Gratitude, that’s my everyday attitude. Gratitude
Gratitude, that’s my everyday attitude. Gratitude
With a heart full of gratitude
And a mind full of peace
That’s how you should live
That’s how you should be
With a heart full of gratitude
And a mind full of peace
That’s how you should love
That’s how you stay free
2020 A.D. I just want to make love
I just want to make peace
I just want to stay free
2020 A.D. I just want to make love
I just want to make peace
I just want to, stay free
Gratitude, that’s my everyday attitude. Gratitude
Gratitude, that’s my everyday attitude. Gratitude
