Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The poet suggests that from the loss of the ball, the boy is learning how to stand up in a world of possessions where he will lose things, will buy some more to replace the ones lost, but would never be able to buy back the thing that he had lost.
Detailed explanation-2: -Expert-verified answer The poet compares the ball with our close persons. As the ball got lost, our close persons will also be lost from our lives in the timespan. So, this kind of situation will be repeating in his life again and again. Thus, the poet says, “Balls will be lost always”.
Detailed explanation-3: -The poet says “I will not intrude on him” because he wants the boy to learn the meaning of loss on his own. He does not offer him money to buy another ball because according to him, money or another ball is worthless.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: We think the poet, in these lines, conveys a great message. Losing ball here symbolises miseries arising out of the losses one suffers in life. In this materialistic world, there is cut throat competition.
