👉 The result of no longer possessing an object, a function, or a characteristic due to external causes or misplacement.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look, At ‘loss,’ a word that needs a thoughtful hook. The dictionary gives us quite the plea, “No longer possessing,” for you and me! It's more than just an item gone astray, A feeling too, in so many ways. Let’s break it down, with rhythm and grace, To truly understand this word’s space. "External causes," that means outside force, Like a storm or accident, charting a course. Or maybe “misplacement,” a simple mistake, Leaving something behind for goodness sake! But ‘loss’ also holds a deeper hue, A sadness felt when things aren't quite true. Think of a favorite toy, a cherished friend, A memory fading – that’s where loss can blend. It could be a skill you used to hold so tight, Or even a feeling, dimmed by the night. So ‘loss’ isn’t just about what's missing now, But the impact felt, and how we allow Our hearts to heal, and find a way to see, The beauty that remains, for you and me! Does that make sense? Any questions arise?
