F I D Means Faith

I give you my bona fides
You can trust in what I say
F I D spells faith in Latin
F I D words on the way
Let's learn F I D words today

Someone who has turned his back
Upon his faith and God as well
Who rejects his own religion
Is known as an infidel

Someone who cannot be trusted
You can call perfidious
If he's also very sneaky
You can also call him insidious

If you lack faith in yourself
If your confidence is spent
You are feeling meek and modest
You are feeling diffident

Tell your story in a court of law
Where it's written down to save it
Make sure you have told the truth
When you sign that affidavit

I give you my bona fides
You can believe what I say
F I D spells faith in Latin
We learned F I D words today
