'Train Ride' Poem by Linda Winchell

Take me on a train ride,
A train ride anywhere!
I'll sit here by the window,
I have my ticket, paid the fare.

Don't know where I'm headed,
Just hearing sounds of, 'Clicks and Clacks',
The smell of coal burning,
This steel train upon its' tracks.

Can you hear the whistle blowing?
As we cross both town and field.
The might and power of the train,
As engines' force power to each wheel.

'Choo, Choo! ', I yell from the child within,
No one seems to hear my cries.
Seeing just of one in love with an era,
from another place and time.

Will you ride the rails one day with me?
And remember of what was then.
Of a slower more God filled time,
We could ride it to the end.
'All Aboard! '
