Basket Full of Fun

Years ago I flew in the sky In a basket under colors of red, blue, and white We sailed over towns and farms in flight The pilot, a friend, my brother, and I My parents watched the balloon go higher It was our shared birthday gift Reaching toward the clouds, the air so swift Like a bird in motion, we became fliers The ride was smooth though filled with suspense Yet such happiness we had when we touched down Climbing out of the basket onto solid ground We loved and enjoyed the whole experience Written by: Shani Fassbender on July 19, 2011 for the contest: Happiness is a Balloon
