Paper boat

Memories come rushing back, 

A little piece of an origamy sheet. 

Some drops of perspiration here and there, 

Creased forehead, tongue sticking out, representing dedication...

the dexterity of my thumb and

long practiced expertise motion of my hands, 

Childhood fun and play gushes to me, 

Even after so many stressfully busy years, 

I can still make a paper boat and float.
