Two Balloons Together   |   I Will Be With You Soon   |   Missing's Kisses   |   Butterfly Wings   |   Hello My Love   |   A Package   |   Let's Touch Hands

A wonderful and beautiful gift I did receive...
Flowers with two balloons standing in the air...
Gave me a smile to know your need...
To show me just, how very much you care.

But a week has passed since they were brought...
The flowers had began to droop and wilt...
Yet the balloons stood proudly like a thought...
To remind me of the love that their delivery felt.

Removing the flowers carefully, I prepared them to dry...
Sad thoughts inside to see them go...
But the balloons stood tall and ever so high...
I knew I never wanted to see them low.

So I took them from their nest of green...
Walked outside, with them tied together...
It was almost like experiencing a dream...
To watch them bounce in their tether.

Letting them go, I watch as they climbed...
Strong winds carried them to mountains so high...
Would they rise over, as I watched the time....
Six minutes had passed they were still in sight.

Suddenly, they began to reach out...
As mountains came close to their flight...
"Yeah!" anyone near, heard me shout...
For existence and life again, they did fight.

Climbing quickly I watched them sail...
Over the mountains, way past my view...
So happy to know that they did not fail...
Just like the love that I share with you.

The balloons represented us, when I let them go...
Together they flew away, together free...
Traveling the skies for all to know...
That love can be all that you see.

Someday together, they will settle down...
I know not where it is they will land...
Gently, they will touch earth's hard ground...
Or maybe the beach filled with sand.

But when they do, I am very sure...
They will do it together, their binds were tight...
Their travel over, they have endured...
God's touch through the day and night.

And like the balloons we continue to soar...
Higher and higher with each mountain near...
Someday we will settle together, once more...
In happiness forever, and love so dear.
