Dreams Balloons Geese Parks

Balloons Geese Parks
David J Walker

The man in the park
With balloons for sale 

Dreams are a penny a piece
Balloons float away said Daddy that day

Shall we give one to the Geese
Shall we send a prayer 

Into the air 
Shall we thank them for their song

Shall we watch for flight 
In the mornings light

Shall we cheer them 
and steer them along 

Shall we sit for a while
And watch and smile

As balloons and geese 
Fly away

Shall we pay a penny 
And hope that many 

Will return for their 
Annual stay

The man in the park
With balloons for sale

His dreams are a penny apiece
Bourn by the breeze 

And over the trees 
Beautiful dreams released
