bursting balloons

face flushed
eyes shining
in hand, a
red
balloon
hair tousled
little boy with
brand-new
toy
running in the sun
the darts in my
eyes
burst his
prize and
that little boy
with his
big red
toy
deflated
wrinkled up
into a sad old
man
who sits and
stares out his
window

This seems sad -- but also a reminder to keep our childish joy alive in our hearts (remember, you and me, we're going to be excentric! - or maybe just loveable)
Love you!
