Balloons

A hundred tiny hands set loose     
     A hundred large balloons  -
And lots of children watch them go
     Upon this afternoon.

​

A hundred colours in the sky 
   Are carried on the breeze –
Except for two who’re sadly caught
   In branches of the trees.

​

A hundred children scream with joy
    To see them floating high
As each and every one becomes
     Much smaller in the sky.

​

They paint the sky with coloured hues 
    As through the air they float,
And, bobbing up and down, you’d think
     Each was a tiny boat.

​

If you were but a bright balloon
    Where do you think you’d go?
Well, the only ones who know the truth
      Are the gentle winds that blow.
