There is a lot to gain from this poem. It teaches people that they can have a great life even though it is rough during their childhood.

This is my favourite poem as it describes hope by using a powerful array of metaphors to enhance its effect. While it is true that many people all over the world live in extremely challenging and life threatening situations, leading hard lives in appalling conditions.
