My little paper boat

Oh! how I wish it would float

And take me far away,

Whare clouds lay 

On mountain tops

And the harvest was a rich crop!

Not the drought, nor famine

Could slay and bemean

Our small little village

Belittled by nature's pillage.


May it be a vale, a valley

Where I wouldn't push this trolley,

Or work in the deep, dark mines

A place where the sun would shine!

A river will run and plunge 

Into a waterfall,

The manager wouldn't lunge 

For fainting and haul!


Somewhere boats will ply

Competing the clouds in the sky!

I put my boat down to the stream

Watch it race past firefly beams!

I ignore the sinking heart

We'll meet again, tis we part

I pray, pray to have no fear

Never surrender to this vale of tears.


I wrote it way after starting this book, but somehow, it conveys the main theme! 

Oh and 'tis'=it is

Tell me what you think about it.

Your lil girl!
