Definition: To cause (something) to cease to be in one's possession or capability due to unfortunate or unknown circumstances, events or reasons.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a peek,
At the word “lost,” and what it truly means, you see!
The dictionary gives us a long, formal plea,
“To cause (something) to cease… that's quite a decree!”
It says we lose things when luck isn't bright,
Or events unfold in an unexpected light.
Think of a toy, a favorite key,
Lost from your grasp, for you and me!
Perhaps a feeling, a hope so sweet,
Lost to the shadows, bittersweet.
Or maybe a path, a direction unclear,
Lost in the woods, filled with silent fear.
It’s not just about things that vanish away,
But also moments that simply slip away.
So “lost” means
absence
, a feeling of lack,
A departure from where you're looking back!
Does that make sense? Any questions to share? Let's discuss it with care!
