Do you like to float paper boats? Listen to the poem given below. Day by Day I Float My Paper Boats 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.
