Day by day I float my paper boats
one by one down the running stream.
In big black letters I write my name on them
and the name of the village where I live.
I hope that someone in some strange
land will find them and know who I am.
I load my little boats with shiuli flowers from our garden,
And hope that these blooms of the dawn will be carried safely
to land in the night.

Answer 3:
The significance of the shiuli flowers is that the speaker hopes that the blooms ( created from shiuli flowers ) of the dawn will be carried safely.
Answer 4:
He floats his boats daily without any gaps. Words like "Day by day I float my paper boats" help infer that it's true.
Answer 5:
He writes his name on the paper boats which he left floated in the running stream. He did so for if anyone sees the paper boats then he/she could understand that he is missing in the dawn.
