Faith

1
Faith Love can come and go, As fast as day and
night. Hope can be extinguished, As can a
flame. Trust can last forever, Or just
disappear. But faith never ends. It is always
right there. Faith gives us hope, trust and
love. Faith is our cane, That carries us through
life. Anonymous

What does it mean?

• The first two lines where they say Love can come
  and go, as fast as day and night. Means that
  people love other people and then the next day
  they decide they dont.
• Where it says Hope can be extinguished, As can a
  flame. This can be true and it cant be true.
  Some people hope for something their whole lives
  and in the end finally get it. When hope is
  extinguished there may still be a tiny bit of
  hope left in you but you not really sure that it
  will ever happen, so your hope fades like a flame
  being put out. When you blow out a match there is
  still some smoke rising from the candle but the
  large flame (the majority of your hope) is gone.
  The left over smoke signifies the little bit of
  hope that a person might have but like the smoke
  it soon fades away.

What does it mean?

• Trust can last forever or just disappear This
  means that we could trust a person our whole
  lives but if one day they do something wrong.
  E.g. They might have made plans to come to your
  house and they forgot. The person who was waiting
  at his/her house might lose a little bit of trust
  in the person that didnt show up. Not all of
  his/her trust but only a small percentage.

What does it mean?

• But faith never ends. It is always right
  there. Faith gives us hope, trust and love. Faith
  is our cane, That carries us through life. This
  shows that faith is ever lasting. It helps us
  choose what to do and what not to do. It gives us
  hope, trust and love by giving us faith in hope,
  trusting, and love. Faith guides us through our
  lives like a cane guides a blind person. It shows
  us new opportunities. Leads the way, supports us
  when we need something to lean on.

Poetic devices and Figurative language

• In the first two lines they compare coming and
  going to day and night. This shows how fast it
  can come and go.
• In the 3rd and 4th line it is showing that hope
  can be extinguished like flame. A single flame
  can be extinguished easily and it is showing how
  easy it is to stop hoping.
• In the last two lines is compares a cane to
  Faith. This show that they both can carry us
  through life.

Like /Dislike

• I like this poem and the figurative language it
  uses to compare everyday things to something like
  Love, Hope, Trust, and Faith. It allows us to
  realize that Love, Hope and Trust can disappear
  so fast, but as fast as they disappear they can
  reappear.
