Where do the Balloons go?
Once, years ago
I looked at my dad
And he saw in my eyes
That I was so sad
So he grabbed my hand
And we walked down the street
And he said
"There's someone I'd like you to meet"
He covered my eyes
And not a moment too soon
Much to my surprise
I got my first balloon
I was excited
But also confused
I wasn't sure
How this contraption was used
But my tears faded fast
As I grabbed my new friend
And my dad started smiling
Until I cried again
I was unaware
That my new friend could fly
And when I let go
He got lost in the sky
I watched with tears in my eyes
As he drifted out of sight
If I would have known
I would've held on tight
So I then asked my dad
Where the balloons go
Because dad was really smart
So he would have to know
He described to me
A perfect circus in the sky
Where balloons went to live
When they drifted up too high
So then, once more
My dad wiped away my tears
And he wrapped me in his arms
To remind me he was here
In loving memory of my father, who recently passed away. I love you, Dad.
