That Saturday ... by the kid's park !
A small cherished memory l......
The early morning sun ...
brought the promise of a grand day ..
My dad's taking me to the park ...
Our much needed weekly getaway !!!
Consumed by his research work ...
a whole Saturday was all he could spare ...
I would joyfully rake in the opportunity ...
Silly pre-school classes offering much despair...
The park's merely a stage ....
the one that I consider my own ...
My dad brings a few 'Heart' baloons ...
spectacularly huge when blown ...
I see a little lady by the pool ..
her cute tufts sending my heart aflutter...
The way she holds her baloons ...
On !!! My heart's just hit a buzzer !!!
And then .. horrors of horror ..
that baloon escapes her hand ...
She looks forlornly at the escapee ...
and tears start falling on the sand ...
I never understood why I did what I did ..
my baloon my proudest possession ...
A few steps towards her person ...
her watery eyes on me ...
And then I gave up my string ..
the baloon floating overhead ....
She gazed at what I did ...
and joined me in my laughter
We connected amidst a tiny spark ..
that Saturday ...by the kids park
