Kicking myself Jan, for not getting this straight off. It clicked soon after and as others have implied, sad, happy, profound all at the same time. Picture reminds me of one if my all time favourite records; Ninety Nine Red Balloons. Smashing poem, Jan. Terry

The reality is that of the mother The innocence is that of a child, What a dichotomy you portray here Jan, I have a memory of when my grandma died we lived with her, I was 3 years old, everyone was calling into the house and crying, I was told everything is ok, by my parents gran had gone to heaven and was with holy God, I remember thinking so why is everyone so sad, your poem brings it to mind cheers David

Thanks David I prefer humorous poems but this one was begging to be written and was inspired by seeing a red balloon caught in tree branches near the cemetery:-) hugs Jan xx
