THE BLUE BALLOON
I wrote your name on a blue balloon
With I MISS YOU on its face,
Then sent it soaring through the clouds
To a far more distant place.
Up to your home in Heaven’s realm
Where you went so long ago.
I’m wondering if it reached you there
From this complex earth below.
I know it’s just a fantasy
To believe such things can be,
But I’ll pretend it reaches you,
And you’ll remember me.
5/16/98 – Phyllis DeWitt VanVleck
