Those paper airplanes folded neat thrown in the air to glide, complete with hidden wishes hoped to meet; they fly a bit- a short-lived treat. Our paper airplanes start to fly- but most times bring an inner sigh. Aboard, those wishes we hold high- come crashing down beneath the sky. Airplanes are strong, the paper's weak; might never hold the wish we seek. But we're determined- brave, not meek; pray gambled outcomes are not bleak.

"Airplanes are strong, the paper's weak" and yet we still place our dreams on them and let em go. Thanks for participating in the contest
