👉 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?
