"Red Balloon"

I saw a photograph today
of a little blond Pashtana
who reminded me of me
I wondered looking at her
How life would be now
If my family had stayed
She looks so very happy
holding her red balloon
I cannot even remember
The last time I felt happy
I feel lost in this alien land
Maybe I need a red balloon
not a little red balloon but
a giant red hot air balloon
to take me back to my home
So that I can be happy too
Happy and smiling like her
That little blond Pashtana
Who could have been me
Playing with my red balloon
