Paper boats! Paper boats!

Reminds us of the child within,

Happily folding the paper thin.

With eagerness and liveliness,

Sailing the paper boat,

In the flowing rain water naturally built-in.

Rains, Rains, heavy rains,

Does not dampen the child’s spirit,

Sailing the paper boats,

Happily folding the paper thin.

Moving through the waves,

In the flowing puddles and pools,

Trying to reach unknown destinations,

Carrying the message of hope and dreams.

The same fervour of the child’s action,

Needs to be followed in real life,

Keep alive the spirit and the child within.

Set your sails, reach your goals,

To achieve your dreams.

The future is unknown,

But mark the destination,

And reach that imaginary horizon.
