\n\t1 March 2013 by Melisa Chong – <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\tRemember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. – Isaiah 43:18-19.<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\t\"\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tLet it go my love <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tShaking my head I held it tightly. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“It’s not your balloon, you must let it go.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThere’s a new adventure coming, over the rainbow.”<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen I looked up at you, I knew it was true,<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI had to let go, to bring in something new.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMy hand slowly opened, I let it soar,<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe balloon flew high till I could reach it no more.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\tYou stood behind me as a tear fell from my eye, <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tYou knew it was ok for your little child to cry. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“It’s time to go my love, I see that tear.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThere’s a new adventure coming, don’t you fear.”<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tHolding me close you led me away,<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEnjoying the wind, the flowers. Oh look at that sun ray!<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA smile soon came as we continued hand in hand,<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI realized I’ll always have you, we’ll never part, in any adventure, across any land.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n
