BALLOONS

Balloons are floating in the sky
In blue and green – they make me high
They cheer me up and make me smile
They add some humor to my style

Balloons are floating in the air
They make me let go of despair
They float along the ceiling tile
And I forget – well for awhile

How some balloons will blow away
Not everyone was meant to stay
Balloons are floating in the sky
Some hands let go – some wave goodbye

While some balloons will lose their air
Slowly deflate – beyond repair
Now shards of rubber line the floor
My problems gone, now rise once more

Until I spy a lone balloon
Before I blink it’s gone to soon
it’s out the door and down the street
One day I hope again we’ll meet
