Definition: To make melancholy; to sadden or grieve (someone).
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look today,
At a tricky word – “sad,” in quite a special way!
The dictionary gives us clues, you see,
“To make someone feel gloomy, heavy, and free…
From joy, from laughter, a tear might fall,
A feeling of sadness, encompassing all.”
It’s more than just being blue, it's true,
It’s a deeper feeling, for me and for you.
Think about when your favorite toy is lost,
Or when a friendship ends, whatever the cost.
It's when things don't go as planned, you know,
A gentle heartache, a quiet flow.
Saddening someone means causing them to feel this way,
Like watching raindrops fall on a cloudy day.
Grieving is sadness, strong and deep,
When something precious we can’t keep.
So "sad" isn't just a simple state of mind,
It’s a complex emotion, one of humankind!
Now, who can give me an example of when
they
might feel sad? Let’s hear your thoughts…
