Taking a ride on my life’s busy train

Tracks rolling through my brain

Taking this moment to read and sit

Wondering at the miss and the hit

Wondering where and why this is leading

Lost inside all my want and needing

There are the pleasant moments of surprise

I’ve seen these with my very own eyes

Where there is life there is hope

Answering life’s defeats with a nope

Because where there is hope there is chance

To change things and make our advance

But for now I sit on this train and read

And my silent prayer, I quietly plead
