I sent my world a ballon today

And there it will stay forever

I watched till it was far away

Knowing it was on an adventure

I’m smiling,

knowing I created two things that can fly

But this one would never be robbed of life

Only going up into the starry sky

where my world lives and I watch from below

Tonight, before bed,

I whispered into my pillow:

“I sent you a ballon, my dearest,

It was yellow, just like your curl

I sent you proof that freedom and purity exist,

And my love for you,

my daughter,

is bigger than the world.”

I sent a ballon to my world

And it opened my closed eyes.

Finally, she won’t be lonely

In the vastness of the sky
