“… staring down/All his young days into the harbor where/His ball went…” Do you think the boy has had the ball for a long time? Is it linked to the memories of days when he played with it?

===================================
Yes, the boy has had the ball for a long time. As he stands at the harbour, staring at the ball in the water, all the memories that he had come rushing towards him. It was his first time experiencing loss of his valued possession in his life. As he stands there completely disheartened, he realises that just like the ball his memories would never come back. He realises that nothing lasts forever and that nothing is permanent.

Answer:
Yes, the boy has had the ball for a long time. When it bounced into the water, all his memories of the days of childhood flashed in front of him. This lead to a realisation that those moments would not come back, just like the ball. He can buy new balls and can similarly create new moments, but those that are gone would not return.
