Analysis of My Little Girl



Your little girl cries to much.
My little girl makes no sound.
Your little girl sleeps warm in her bed.
Mine lies cold in the ground.
Your little girl woke up today.
My little girl never will.
Your little girl laughs and plays.
My little girl lies still.
Your little girl makes you proud.
And just as proud am I,
Cause while your little girl
is learning to walk
My little girl can fly.
