روايات وقصص ضمن Hope Is The Thing With Feathers

“The little rabbit is flying so high!” Napatingala rin si Gaile. Matayog ito at paikot-ikot sa bughaw na langit, hinahabol ng hangin habang tila buhay na buhay sa bawat galaw ng kamay ni Kaiden sa tali. Maging si Gaile ay namangha.

“Jordan…” “I saw how sad you are. Tito Lionel is close to me and… I know what you feel. But Dad told me when Mom died that she’ll be in the skies, watching after us.

I hope that I still pray with passion to the heaven that exists in my entire being when I feel blinded by confusion. I hope I wioo trust in all of my capabilities, because my capabilities are endless. I hope I will still open my heart wider than golden gates.

You don't see the things I see I'll tell you things you won't believe Above the skies overseas I hear them, all those places calling me To never give up To never backdown You'll get through the storm Even the night, the darkest before the dawn Live your life Live your dream It's the sound of soul in me, in me Live your life Live your dream, ooh-oh-oh You invent what you believe It was not easy from the start There were days when I fell apart (there were days when I fell apart) Just keep following your heart Keep that hope 'cause it's hope that dies the last. To never give up To never back down
