Paragraph : I think this poem is trying to tell us that when you have got ups or downs in life‚ you can’t do anything to change what has happened and you just to just carry on. I thought this because when he uses ‘The tide rises‚ the tide falls’‚ it makes me think of something that has ups and downs because the movement of the tides at sea is being compared to how humans like us have similar ups and downs.
