DISTANT TRAIN



    It starts as a plane or

  a distant rain.

  A rain coming down the plain.



  Train!



  You and me, we can run and see.

  I don't want to play.  Watching the train is where

  I want to stay.

  I wave at the engineer.  I love it, see when

  he waves back at me.

  

  Look at all the cars.

  The people and the goods.

  They comes from places near and far.

  I love to count the cars.

  One, two, three, four, five,

  six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

  What fun!  I hope it's never done.



  I watch as down the track they fly.

  How quickly, they go by.

  How quickly, they go bye.

  I want to cry.



  Away, it does go.

  As much as I say no.



  I can't wait until the next train!

I have a friend from another posting site that used to ride the rails when he was a young man. He used to write his poetry while riding and when he would get off he would put his words in a tin can and bury it somewhere along the tracks. Hmmmmm maybe a new write. LOL Enjoyed Chris.
