Book Description
I don't remember being in the house when mother arrived to pick up my sister. I went next door to my cousin's house and was sitting on their front porch steps. I was all by myself waiting for them to get into the car. I don't know if they knew I was there when they got into the car at that moment or not. When they drove out our drive, they had to pass in front of my cousin's house. They saw me crying, my sister waved, I knew she was happy and mother leaned close to the steering wheel to look around my sister at me. She had a concerned look on her face. I started to cry so hard at that time and didn't know how to really control myself. I was mad at Aunt Naomi for sending her away so I didn't want to go into the house. No one was around at my cousin's house, so I went to my own place in the bushes and finally stopped crying. I felt so sad and wanted to be with my sister and mother. I stayed there in the bushes until I was called to come in for supper. Everyone was quiet at the table that night, nothing was the same.

I would that my life remain a tear and a smile." Poetry are filled with great thoughts and also in-depth feelings. Poetry are related to life. So one has to focus on the understanding and in depth message in each poetry. The author has nicely related the value of Tear and Smile in to his poetry. Every poem is admirable.

When heart is filled with emotions and by the hurt feelings, then tears are there to help you out. Gibran thus narrates how sorrow of the heart & tears of sadness makes like how into joy. So a tear can lead to a smile because happiness and sorrow come hand in hand. Our sorrows purify us and makes us understand the world.
