One summer day I flew A kite I flew a kite once on a clear Summer sky of my youth And when it was there afloat Amidst the wind mildly blowing I felt its string quievering so I held It still and saw the kite so beautiful Above me blown a little by wind With a clear blue sky as its backdrop. I let go of the string, and the kite Moved away as if saying goodbye And when I pulled it back again, The higher it flew and for fear that It may reach the cloud, I pulled the string Back and slowly brought back the kite On the ground below to my waiting arms. Ah, now methinks that kite is like a dream I once had, it was up there so beautiful and still Until I almost let it go and I felt bad. Good thing I had the presence of mind to realize that dream Can float for a while, and I can even let it float higher In the sky but back to earth I must bring it as a dream Come true, and here to stay with me until my life Is through.
