MY FIRST TRAIN RIDE

 

  
               MY FIRST TRAIN RIDE      
                         A lot of joy for this boy.
         ,My first train alone, far from home.
  My first train ride, all this excite, I could not hide.
   This was something new for me see.
  Something new.  I could not wait to do.
                         My mom for my ticket did pay.      
                          I was on my way.
                      My uncle, aunt, grandparents, were a whole day away.
 
  A tear from her eye.
  Thought I, she was going to cry.
  She, see, told the car attendant, the conductor to keep an eye on me.
               
V.A. on the way.
  Chicago, I was going to do.
West would be the best.   
  Boston  would be so much fun.
  
  I took a look at a book.     
  I listened as the conductor did explain, all about the train.
  I looked at the signts.
  I would ride all day until the night.
  I had dinner, a winner.
                          
                            I got into bed.
                  All the thoughts from my trip in my head.
                  Singing was my heart.
              This trip I did start.
            My heart did sing.
         Could not wait to see what the next day would bring.
