A Message To Heaven

i sent you a message on a balloon,
it was shaped just like a star.
I hope it reaches you,
wherever it is that you are.

It was blue,
and i wrote the message in orange paint.
i wrote,"I Love You"
and "i'll always remember that day."

i also wrote the date that you left,
and how i miss you so.
You know i'll never forget.
I promise to never let you go.

I painted a couple of hearts,
Oh, i hope you get to see...
Especially the part
where i asked if you remembered me.

I mean, you have been gone for quite some time.
I was starting to wonder, if maybe..you forgot.
Do i ever cross your mind?
yeah....probably not.

At the end of the string,
i tried to attatch a note.
But the balloon was such a delicate thing,
it made it nearly impossible to float!

So instead, i closed my eyes and made a wish,
before the wind carried it away.
i said," I hope you get this,
and i hope to see you again...one day."

Then i let it go,
and i watched it disappear..out of sight.
I just wanted to let you know
I was thinking of you that night.

I sent a message to heaven,
I wrote it on a balloon.
I really hope you get it...
I hope to hear back from you soon.

QUIT MAKING ME CRY, GINA! Man, you are GOOD at what you do. Now I have to pretend to have an allergy attack so no one knows I was crying...

Gina!!!!!   You are truly gifted with the turn of a word.  As i was reading your posts i would stop and close my eyes and see you in my head and wonder why i never knew this about you.  well.  I know now and il start paying better attention.  Keep on keeping on and i don't have a doubt in the world that your writing will take you wherever you want to go.

Did you post a comment on my other article about my teacher? It's called 'Oh, Gartner...'

If you haven't yet,

it would really help me out if you would!

:)

Gina, this is amazing...  (I want to put an exclamation mark at the end of this, but then you'll just think I'm being complimentary)  You have a gift... you should try to get published...  write to magazines, something...  This is really really good.  Really.  (!!)
