We are like balloons tied to the same stone.



Here's a simple piece that I wrote for a friend. We'd been talking about love and relationships, and what they are best described by. I mentioned the title phrase as my impression of her relationship with her husband and she loved it. She gave this one to him the next time they were out on a date and he really enjoyed it.


We are like two balloons tied to the same stone,
We bounce and play next to one another in the air,
Nuzzling close and winding around one another,
Sometimes we may go our separate ways for a time,
But we always come back to one another,
Happily reunited,
When children become part of our lives their balloons will join us,
Winding around us and growing,
Until such time as their need to grow calls them away,
And they float away to find their own place in the world,
Establish their own stones to be tied to
Share it with their love and continue the cycle anew,
While we grow old together in happy contentment


Best wishes to everyone. I'm now writing from Bratislava, Slovakia as I've taken up a new position teaching English here. It's a lovely city and great to be part of a new culture. Variety is, as they say, the spice of life ;-)
