From the poem "The Ball Poem"
Answers
all this because he wants boy to understand the meaning of loss in his life if he could give then he would already give him a ball but he want boy to you think about the meaning of loss and start a new chapter the boy had so much of memories with ball this because he used to play from that balls since his childhood and poet says we should not be so much childish and should know the loss of things.
Answer:
The poet could have straightaway brought a ball for the boy, but he wants the boy to understand the grief one goes through after losing something very dear to them. He wants the boy to know that many situations will come his way when he has to accept his fate and move on with his life. We can understand with the reference of the poem that the little boy had a lot of reminiscences with the ball, eventually he had to give up everything because it was his fate, so as to come in the lane of life the poet does not intrude on the boy neither does he buy a ball for him.
