Train Thoughts

Running down the rails

no other trains around

I noctch the throttle up and down

the radios quiet

not even a sound

in the dead of the night

at the end of the year

I sit and reflect

on how it went down

I realized while

blowing rabbit crossings

here and there

how many blessings

that I am grateful for

like my loving wife

who really molds my life

and my son whose on a mission

serving with so much passion

my daughters are all so beautifull

I sure love them so

more than you could even know

my eyes are getting heavy

yet i still have a ways to go

I struggle to see the signals

through the blurry snow

the night fades into day

its getting harder

to make any way

so I say a quick prayer

on that early morn

and thank the Lord

for all he has done

then the Son shines through

I feel his warmth

The conducter asleep

but I now I am awake

and i know i can make it

So I follow the greens

into the station

I make it home

to my wife and my children

I hug and tell them

how much i did miss them

off to bed I go

i hurry to sleep

the railroad will call

before you can blink

I'll return to the rails

as i weep and i cry

from missing my family

as you can see why.
