Poem copyright 1989 by Random House. Used with permission of Bobbi Katz.

Come back, come back, my runaway kite! Come back and play with me! Im riding and gliding on whirl-away winds. Im going somewhere. Cant you see? Where are you going my beautiful kite, flying so high in the sky? Im going to visit the lost balloons. I must fly away, fly away, fly! When I hold your string, oh my magical kite, why do I feel the wind in my hand? The wind is a taste of the sky, my young friend, that I give to a child of the land.
