<span>A Symbol of Hope </span> <span>A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam </span> <span>And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world </span> <span>But then it flies again </span> <span>And though we wish it could have stayed... </span> <span>We feel lucky to have seen it. </span> <span>----- </span> <span>Butterfly Wings </span> <span>Author: Robin Fogle </span>
<span>Like a butterfly emerges </span> <span>And unfolds its graceful wings, </span> <span>A child grows and develops </span> <span>With the love a mother brings. </span> <span>I'm thankful for the times </span> <span>When you encouraged me to try, </span> <span>For God gave me my wings, </span> <span>But, Mom, you taught me how to fly. </span> <span>----- </span> <span>Symbolism </span> <span>Definition:- </span> <span>A symbol is literary device that contains several layers of meaning, often concealed at first sight, and is representative of several other aspects/ concepts/ traits than those that are visible in the literal translation alone. Symbol is using an object or action that means something more than its literal meaning. </span> <span>Example:- </span> <span>The phrase “a new dawn” does not talk only about the actual beginning of a new day but also signifies a new start, a fresh chance to begin and the end of a previous tiring time </span>
