At the end of Mary Poppins, Mary prepares to leave her charges, Jane and Michael Banks, having brought healing joy into their dysfunctional family. As the family prepares to "go fly a kite", Mary rises into the air as the wind buoys up her immense black umbrella. On the ground, the chimney sweep/angel Bert, watches her sail up and away. He winks at her and says, "Good-bye Mary Poppins! Don't stay gone too long . . ." (Karen Sapio, Portland Oregon)
