Let go of my heart with the balloon.

I tie the pieces of my heart to the string of the balloons,
I remember you used to tell me when you send a balloon in the air its like sending messages to angels above,
And now that I know your up there I send my heart to you,
All the pieces that I know will be safe with you,

One by one they rise into the air,
That way you wont have to worry about me getting hurt,
Just know I still think about you everyday and wish you were here,
Theres not been a day when I havent cried in fear that I am alone,
But the comfort in knowing that your watching over me,
Makes me keep my head up and keep walking forward,
Your the strength thats inside me and what keeps me going,
I love you and miss you with everything I have,
And I hope your happy wherever you are,
One day we will be together soon,
One by one I let go of the pieces of my heart tied with the balloon.

awww. This is a really great poem.
I like the visuals you add in it.
I was tearing up a little bit because I know how much you love and miss your grandpa.
It is a very compassionate piece.

:) This is so sweet in such an amazing way. The entire piece was brilliantly visual.. truly brought images into my head. The love you keep for your grandfather.. is almost overwhelming. I feel you do know what love is and just by having, im sure a great man as your grandfather, has taught you this. This is so compassionate. I love it!
