Dancing With A Train

Ran down these familiar tracks time and time again

Each time, looking back checking for a train

Though, I do not hear its whistle or feel it chugging along

I often ready myself for that coach to be outrun

But this time might be different cuz my heart’s not pounding fast

My feet are calmly taking stride, my eyes aren’t looking back

And if a train comes down that track, I might mistaken it for the wind

I wonder if dancing with a train would be considered sin

And if I swore to God that I didn’t think I’d die

Would He consider dancing with a train the same as suicide?

And if I told Him I’m sorry, I just couldn’t bare to live

Would He say, “You’re still My child, and for that, I will forgive.”?

Or would He deny my presence, though He knew my love for Him

And send me straight to Hell, if dancing with a train were a sin?

Would there be flowers at my funeral and a cross by the track?

Would Mommy curse my name or cry out that I come back?

Would my nephew understand that Auntie was not well?

Or would he blame it all on God and be condemned to Hell?

Would my church assume that I simply was not saved

And judge the love I had for Christ beyond the grave?

Or would they all realize that I had true love for Him

And conclude that dancing with a train was just another sin?

This is a very hard topic to read, but definitely well written in any case. I love you beyond words. I miss you deeply and just incase you wondered, my reaction would be to cry very hard and cursing you for leaving me and taking that chunk of my heart you own with you. Just in case you did not read or believe, I love you very deeply and would die for you at anytime, so that you would live or could possibly be happy. You are in my thoughts, heart and prayers at all times. I love you hun, and again this was a beautiful piece poetically.
