Paper Airplanes

I still have a child in me
To play with my pupils in year three

I taught them how to make paper airplanes
To enjoy my art class in our best we can

I first instructed them to make some folds
To release and fly with a careful hold

Initially, I made my own nice example
The biggest origami of paper plane sample

I threw it into the air with so much care
They cheered loudly on my flair

I was wondering where it’ll end up
Too fortunate, it landed on my pupil’s lap.

In this activity, they got the moral of the day-
To dream is to set a clear goal on their life’s way

In their best effort, they must follow their goal
To succeed and never regret at all

I further explained during my class
To fold paper, careful planning is a must.

In throwing paper airplanes into the air
Takes great focus and control so it won’t land anywhere

It needs determination to follow their dream
Then pray fervently directing their heart to HIM 

I added: my big plane  went fast into your direction
That’s my huge dream...to help you reach your  ambition

Sam Kauffman Date: 8/30/2022 10:55:00 AM Dear friend Len! What a poem of sheer childhood delight in teaching your class how to make dreams fly in paper airplanes. You are indeed a little kid at heart with a sense of fun so evident in your poem. I, too, am a little kid at heart not willing to grow up until I'm 92 then I'm going to wear high-heeled tennies. I guess all of us have a bit of Peter Pan in us - the irrepressible child. Blessings to you dear Len. Best of luck in the contest!

God bless you always and your writings. Hugs
