Hot Air Balloons and an unexpected Outcome

A popular tourist attraction
in the town where we reside
Hot air balloons, seen, can often total four,
the rushing sound of helium, which is needed to keep them afloat
can be heard when they are intermittently fired

One morning a balloon was hovering, directly above our land
the basket holding many tourists
From our deck, my wife,she waved her delicate hand

But me further away and not so enamoured
I waved them on, and also gestured with my hand 
Urged them on,!!!! You're invading my privacy,
why don't you understand

The balloon had floated on 
and several hours did pass by,
Arrival of some visitors,
who had been floating in the sky

We've been searching for your home 
we were riding in the basket of the balloon above
We took a photo of your land
if you would like to have it,
it is given with much love 

I noticed that from the registration plate,
affixed upon their car
They came from a state where I had once resided 
three thousand kilometres distant, they had travelled from afar

The city where they did reside 
was the city in which my parents had a business when they were alive
What's the name of your parents was the question that they posed
an unexpected response!!!, Knew them well, lived in the same street
was the conclusion at which we did arrive
Who would have thought?
