Do you ever wish you could fly away with your balloon? Just hold onto that string and let it take you up, up and away?  Your feet dangling above the cityscape.  It'd be just you, your ballon, and the clouds, taking you to a place where reality meets imagination.  An escape from your daily routine to explore the world around you, even if it's just for a second.  I want to fly away with my balloon to say hi to a friend.  And tell her what magic lies when you fly between your dreams.  I want to stop at a playground and ride on a swing set and laugh at the sunlight.  I want to touch down on a lake and let my toes glide swiftly across the warm water.  I want to lay in the tall grass and hum sweet words to my own song.  And when I'm tired, I want my balloon to guide me home.  I'll pop it and slowly, the wind's gentle arms, will cradle me back into reality.  But I'd be thankful.  Knowing that just for today, a simple balloon brought me to you.
