BYE BYE BALLOON

Higher and higher the balloon went 
Towards the sky by this child it was sent  
No longer seen now from the ground
Taken by the wind and making no sound 

The balloon once this child's delight  
Gone forever and completely out of sight  
Where will it end up and where will it land  
On a field somewhere or perhaps an oasis of sand 

This balloon I hope will last forever more 
One heavy rainstorm and I'm not so sure 
Goodbye balloon and wherever you may be 
Be safe and careful on your long and winding journey
