Notes About The Poem

An Errant Balloon

An Errant Balloon


 I saw a balloon yesterday. 
Then I saw another again today.
Floating along on a sunshine ray
wending on its way. 
Where did it come from? No one knows 
where will it go? where the wind blows.
Did it escape from a small child’s hand?
or is it a memory of something grand?
A Wedding perhaps? Or a departed good friend 
who will meet up again round some far away bend
what is it’s story?  I wonder aloud
As it floats along in the lee of a cloud
Perhaps I could guess, but I won’t even try.
Just lift my hat and wave goodbye
