Tracks of Our Life's Travels

A chapter in the book Pappa's Memories and Ramblings

Life's Trains

by QC Poet

Trains in life start rolling down the track,
training us on the things we lack,
once we're boarded we're soon rolling fast, wondering how long this ride will last.

 There are many curves along Life's path,
and unknown turns to provoke one's wrath,
a check of ourself before leaving this station,
will help us be prepared for any situation.

When dark long tunnels come along our way,
we've said our Prayers to get through this fray,
bridges we crossed along our life's ride,
will always be a comforting cherished guide.

Look around this cabin it's full of others,
realize they are our sisters and our brothers,
traveling the same tracks on this life's train,
with their own lives' problems on their brain.

An acknowledging smile or nod in their direction,
will make both riders feel life's perfection,
with our own issues traveling down life's railway,
safely to our destinations we want to stay.

Riders get on and off along Life's stops,
going unknown like background props,
when communications have broken down,
Life's train riders will always show their frown.

But when our Faith is strong and sound,
people will seek the brilliance we have found,
the Peace and Love we are carrying around,
will strike fellow life's train riders as profound.

What each life's train's rider comes to bring,
is life's rides stories which may have a sting,
the truth it tells you may have a familiar ring,
may make us cry or want to happily sing.

Fear not all strangers life's train's rides will produce,
maybe a Heavenly messenger sent for helpful use,
in our time of need to change our life's track,
and fix our life's train's ride from sliding back.
