I made those paper boats to sail 
Folded by hands eagerly  
Then floated them in streams of rain 
Now, they come to float in memories 

A splash of toes in puddles of mud 
As heaven's water washed the eyes 
A song on lips of clouds and rain 
As I raised my arms to hug the skies

So free and wild those days of yore 
Such innocence in  breath of dawn 
Laughter lingered through the  night 
Oh, how quickly have those days all gone 

And stories that grandmother told 
Weaves and yarns that life unmasked
Now come back to me in dreams that drift 
Like paper boats of the past
