“Hope” Is The Thing...
“Hope” is the thing with feathers,
a bit like a parakeet,
and when I sing without the words
I know it’s not so sweet.
And like a bird that’s on the wing,
I let my voice quite soar;
I really, really try to sing
but it comes out like a caw.
I’ve heard it in the coldest breeze,
and on the pink tinged sea,
I’ll admit a little bumblebee
could do a better job than me.

Thanks, Mike. I actually find rewriting things a real challenge.
