There’s a Snowman Dancing in the Sky
When I was around four years old I stood outside in our back garden
I was clutching a balloon
This wasn’t any ordinary balloon
It was like an oblong snow globe
There were two parts to it
The outer part that was transparent with little snowflakes printed on it
Inside this casing was another balloon that was in the shape of a snowman
It was filled with helium and floated above my head
I thought it was magical as I danced around the garden with it
He fascinated me
Certainly one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen
My snowman and I played with such excitement together
He felt like the perfect dancing partner as he swirled around
Then suddenly the thin bit of string he was attached to slipped from my hand
I started to jump up and down trying to grab hold of it again
But the wind stirred up under him and swept him up into the air
I started to run in the hope of catching up with him
It was too late
I reached the bramble garden hedge that stopped me from running any further
I couldn’t believe it as he floated off dancing his way towards the clouds
My eyes filled with tears as he eventually disappeared from my view
I didn’t feel like dancing anymore
It just wasn’t as much fun on my own
The reality is that a balloon filled with helium never lasts that long anyway
But that sort of reason never occurs to someone in love
All you think about is how good it could have been and how much the loss hurts
