Analysis of The teardrop drop and a little girl

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The teardrop and the little girl.

A little girl runs by as she looks up at the sky. She runs up and down the stairs and wonders why she is here. Her brother looks at her as she comes near. He sees a pretty little girl with flowers in her hair. And whispers into her sweet little ear, Why are you here? Then Mom appeared and told her you were sent to me from high up in the sky. Your other sister I lost, and I dropped to my knees and cried, and then he saw that teardrop. That's when you popped up.
