If the Moon Were a Balloon

If the Moon Were a Balloon

If the Moon were a balloon,

I’d catch it and fly up to a star.

I’d rest first on a cloud,

Because it’s so far.

Looking down I’d see Earth,

So round, blue, and green,

The most beautiful sight,

I would ever have seen.

Happily I’d visit the star,

And play in the sky,

But I’d come back to Earth,

Because it’s home, that’s why.

I’d slide down a rainbow,

And land in a pond,

Such a delightful thing,

Since of swimming I’m fond.

But the ducks and the fish,

Would be given a fright,

I’d reassure them though,

“Everything is alright.

“I’ve traveled far,

But now I’m here,

From me you certainly

Have nothing to fear.

I love this place,

This Earth, our home,

And all the animals,

Who fly, swim, or roam.

So let’s play in the water,

And dance on the shore,

And we will be friends,

Forevermore.”
