Tracks
Trains carry us through time and space,
To memories of people and place.
They taught us lessons and showed us the way,
Helped us get to where we are today.
As we journeyed, we stumbled and fell,
Lost our way and doubted ourselves.
But those people and places kept us strong,
Saying, "Don't give up; you belong."
Their words echoed on and on,
A simple message, yet so profound.
"Don't give up on me," they say,
Together, we'll find our way.
So let's raise a glass to trains and tracks,
And the memories that we can't go back.
To the people and places we hold dear,
Who stood by us and chased away our fears.
The journey of life is not an easy ride,
But with love and support by our side,
We can overcome the challenges we face,
And reach the destination of our faith.
