The Kite
written by: Joyce Mary J

It was so wonderful to have you in my hands,
That I jumped in excitement like a kid,
I hugged and praised all your colourful features,
And my heart swelled with pride because I knew that you belonged to me.
When the wind came, you started to flutter,
And I knew that you wanted to fly high in the sky,
So, I carefully chose the string to tie it with you,
Then ran towards the highest peak that I ever knew.
I looked for the wind directions to help you with your flight,
And slowly detached myself from you for your wish to come true,
When I saw your happiness I had to cut the string that attached you to me,
To let you go, to see you roam freely.
But, when the wind settles and you find that there is not even a breeze,
To keep you motivated in your flight,
Find your way back home,
And I will be waiting with the perfect string to launch you back in the sky.
