My Paper Boat

I used a double sheet of newspaper; to fashion a toy vessel > a paper barge with a sail. Excited I took it to the small river; runs near my home. I placed it in the water; much to my delight it floated. I followed my creation. As it sailed I couldn't help thinking; whatever floats your boat. I laughed at myself > I love my life.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
