if poem central theme class 7
In the poem, the poet tells us, how to live and act with integrity and the correct values such that one becomes the ideal human. Each of the lines deals with different life situations and the best way to act during them. Some of the important words of the poem are loss, lose, heap, pitch-and-toss, breathe a word, sinew, and hold on etc. However, after reading the poem, I can visualize a scene in which a father speaks to his son and gives him the most valuable life lesson on becoming a complete man.
