\"\"<\/a>
\nA woman stands
\nWith a red balloon in her hand
\nShe looks tired
\nAnd lonely
\nStanding there by herself
\nHer only company
\nThe little red balloon
\nSome say she is looking
\nfor innocence she lost long ago
\nSome claim she is waiting
\nFor her little girl
\nTo come home
\nSome say she is watching
\nFor her husband to return
\nAnd others say
\nShe is just a woman
\nWaiting to grow old
\nShe had stood there
\nEach day
\nSince I can remember
\nAlways silent
\nAlways standing
\nWith her little red balloon
\nShe doesn\u2019t approach anyone
\nOr utter a word
\nJust silently watching
\nFor something untold<\/p>\n

One day I returned
\nTo find that woman
\nBut she was gone
\nVanished
\nFrom the spot
\nThat had become hers
\nAll that was left
\nHas the popped red balloon
\nShriveled and empty
\nLeft lying in her place
\nI walked over
\nTo the remnants
\nOf that balloon
\nIt didn\u2019t seem right
\nTo throw it away
\nSo I vowed to keep it
\nUntil I would see her again
\nI would return it to her
\nAnd she would finally say
\nWhy she had been waiting for so long
\nAnd who the balloon belong to
\nBut she never came back
\nAnd I forgot about the balloon
\nBut I wonder now
\nWhy did she leave
\nDid she find what she needed
\nOr did she just grow too weary
\nTo stay in her place
\nSo I bought my own
\nLittle red balloon
\nAnd took it to her spot
\nAnd let it go
\nI watched it drift
\nFarther and farther away
\nNow they have gone together
\nWhere I do not know
\nBut the woman
\nAnd her little red balloon
\nAre together at last
\nNo longer waiting
\nBut found at last<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
