Definition: To keep in possession or use.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look!
We’ve got a word today, quite simple to see,
“Retained,” it’s called – let’s learn what it means to be!
The dictionary tells us, with accuracy bright,
"To keep in possession or use," shining like light!"
Think of a toy you love, held tight in your hand,
You
retain
that treasure, throughout the land!
Or maybe a skill you’ve learned, practiced with glee,
You
retain
it proudly – for all to see!
It's holding onto something, keeping it near,
A thought, a feeling, banishing fear.
So “retained” means to hold on, don’t you agree?
Like a precious memory, for you and for me!
