Me And My Paper Boat



She felt a strange tug
At her heart
Telling her to let go
That it will be alright
Me and my paper boat 

Was she ready
The sky hadn't cleared up
Grey clouds still marred
The blue sky 
The rain was about to shower

She was drenched
As was the paper boat
That rested in her 
Hands securely
It was stronger than before now

It was ready to sail
She was crouched at her
Feet again 
Her eyes running up
And down that
A little stream of water

She thought as she 
Set it down
Placing a part of herself
In it, she set it to sail
Me and my paper boat 

The ocean of life 
As calm as it may be seen
A few beautiful storms
Are hidden somewhere within

 Some moments to float
And a little time to wait
I wrote your name 
 On my paper boat again
Waited, will it sink or float

Sailing even when drowning
Those little paper boats
Brought smiles
On those faces 
Me and my paper boat .
