I saw unbridled joy today
A pleasant surprise
I saw untethered elation
Upon a child's face
As he set his heart free
By letting go, letting go, his shiny balloon
When he first set his toy free
I anticipated a sigh as his eye
Searched within the sky
I expected him to cry
But he laughed as his friend danced
On the wings of the clouds
His laughter guided the eyes
Of the schoolyard as they gazed in the skies
And then the most astonishing thing occurred
As they released their friends
To dance among the clouds on the wings of the wind
The din that rose,
was the most beautiful laughter put upon the wind
The One above had to smile to see their lovely joy
His children made for him upon the winds with their toy
They donated to him with unabated joy
Upon the wings of the wind.
