Red Heart Balloons
Sitting on a bench one day
looking up at an azure sky
I did see red heart balloons
as they slowly drifted by
Crimson kisses among
clouds like cotton candy
Bouncing over green trees
and beaches golden sandy
Dipping down in the wind
they danced atop lilac trees,
then rose again in splendor,
blown by a gentle breeze
What hand had loosed
this treasure into the day
Some lover who wanted
to give his heart away?
I longed to gather them,
return each and every one
they were beyond my reach
as they soared toward the sun
