Your Red Balloon

I’ve been missing you Especially today It’s your birthday I’m going to our favorite place Down by the lake I bought a balloon for you Of course it’s red Your favorite color Because you somehow believed it’s the pretties color So here I am laying in the grass amongst flowering shrubs down by the lake Holding your red balloon Lost in thoughts of brokenness Unaware of tears trickling down my face I wanna scream your name It hurts too deep Darling hear me please Although I don’t know how far heaven is I’m sending up your red balloon I’m sorry it’s smeared with blue tears But it is filled with my love and our memories So be ready to catch it darling Your red balloon Fin Chuuk 2/16/23 POTD 2/18/23 1st place in Balloon contest Sponsor by: Anthony Biaanco

Hello Fin. First congratulations on your winning entry. I can see how it placed because of the emotion love sentiment loss and much more all in one. I believe you speak for all who are missing someone and who is living a broken and lost heart. This is just beautiful. May the red balloon reach heaven. (smile)

Congratulations on all your hard work and wins! I am not a fan of balloons as they get stuck in the hills, I see them on the trails, but your balloon made for a beautiful and emotional poetry! I Am Anaya

Anaya, I am totally the same. Especially the mylar kind. I hate to see the birds and other animals get stuck on them. I did it just once with the latex but will never do it again. I buy them for home or parties but never flying them away. So I totally understand you. Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your visit and comment. :)
