Question

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.
