Paper Plane

August 17, 2015

I've made a tiny paper plane

It's crumpled and doesn't fly well

But it's my gift to you

It's unbalanced and lopsided

And can't loopdy loop

All it does is spin and twirls

Before crashing with a poof

But it's my gift to you

Open it up and see within

All my hopes and dreams and sins

The good and bad and in between

In tiny letters, from end to end

But it's my gift to you

Carry it with you always

And hold it dear to your heart

Carry it gentle and carefully though

Lest it falls apart

I've made a tiny paper plane

I've made it all for you

And if you keep it safe and true

I promise I'll be back soon.
