Carefree Baloon

I stand at the fair

And watch all of the people there

I see them having fun

But my fun is already done

I notice the small girl walking by

She lets go of her balloon and watches it fly

I walk up to her and ask, “ Your balloon, you let it go, why? ”

She takes those big blue eyes and looks at me

She grabs my hand and whispers quietly

In my ear

So no one else can hear

When she’s done with her talking

She continues walking

I don’t understand what she said to me

She just simply stated, “To set it free”
