I had a dream.
I had a dream about the moment when a little girl (who was blind) just got back her ability to see. She opened her eyes for the first time, to see a thousand colourful balloons floating around her. They were on shiny strings.
She smiled and watched them in awe, for she had never seen so many colours before! "They are really pretty!", she thought and stood for a moment just watching them float by. Time seemed to stand still. Then her gaze caught one pretty little balloon which had all the colours of the rainbow. It glistened in the warm, morning sun.
She suddenly felt a strong urge to catch that one. She wanted to hold on to its shiny string and watch it as long as she liked. She wanted it for herself because it had ALL the colours; it was the brightest, the prettiest one of them all. She wanted to take it home and show everyone her very special balloon. She started dreaming of how she would tie it to something near her bed and watch it everyday as she opened her eyes and before she went to sleep every night. She really wanted that one. Only that one.
Lost in her thoughts and dreams, the little girl stopped watching the balloons before her. She was watching them in her mind. And before she knew it, a strong gust of wind blew across and lifted them further away. Now they were all way up high, floating along with the clouds in the sky. There was no way she could reach any of them now.
She watched her special balloon go up too, along with the others. Teardrops fell silently, in a stream, to her arm and to the ground below. Yes, she was so close to getting her special balloon. But now, it was gone. A deep sadness filled her heart as she looked up.
"I was so happy when I just watched them simply floating by", she thought. And then, she looked down at her feet. Right beside her tiny feet was a small pool of water. In that water, she saw a blur of colours...the thousand colourful balloons, including her very special one!
