“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.”
– Emily Dickinson
I love that stanza of Emily Dickinson’s poem – a perfect thought for Breast Cancer Awareness Day! In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Day and Breast Cancer Awareness Month, here’s a word art freebie based on Emily Dickinson’s words of hope:

Such a wonderful poem and the word art is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing!
Deb says
Thanks so much, Jen! I always loved that poem. I think Emily Dickinson would be happy to be doing her part for breast cancer awareness.

Andrea says
This is a very great endeavor. I would like to have the same kind of advocacy. I believe a number of women as afflicted by breast cancer these days. They should know that they are not alone and that we are here for them.

Deb says
Thanks, Andrea! It is frightening to think that 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. I’m definitely hoping for a cure.

Truly a wonderful poem that describes coping with cancer perfectly. As well as many other difficult sitations in life of course.
Although I know of Emily Dickinson this was the first time I’ve heard this particular poem. Thanks for sharing it!
Deb says
Thanks, Monica! That’s always been one of my favorites from Emily Dickinson. 🙂
