Soaring higher and higher they went

Pink balloons to the heavens we sent

We sent them for you on this day of your birth

We had mixed emotions since we would’ve preferred you with us

We know you saw them and were looking down on all of us

Your love enveloping all that showed to celebrate this day of your birth

Pink balloons

Because that was your color and fit you so perfectly

It didn’t matter how you died on this day of your birth

We celebrated you

With pink balloons sent to heaven with all our love

We love you Mar Mar
