The Skywriter
This is another one that's popular over the internet. This goes way back when I was second year in highschool making the poem older than "Class Ring" by at least two years. I still have the highschool journal that published the piece. It was then posted by a junior named Frujeira Sharief. I never got to confirm if she was the author or if she'd just discovered the simple but melodic poem.
This one was an inspiration to a lot of hungry young poets and has spawned other works that changed only the "Skywriter" profession to "Artist" or "Painter" etc. but always ended with "I've written/painted your name, all over my heart".

The Skywriter
If I were a skywriter
here's what I'd do
I'll tell all the world
of my love for you
On some bright mornings
you'd look up high
To see your name
all over the sky
Yes I would be happy
and I would be proud
To write my love
in words of cloud
But lacking a plane
and a pilot's art
I've written your name
all over my heart

All I can confirm from my searching is that the author is indeed and atleast of the same nationality as Frujeira since all the people who posted the poem on their websites, forums and blogs were Filipinos. At least no one else is claiming they have written the poem themselves. When I reached college, I discovered that the poem was gaining coverage of Metro Manila highschools like Poveda, Assumption and Saint Paul.
