The train of life, chugs along on tracks unseen,

You may not know where you are going,

But you know where you've been.

The train travels along,

With friend and foe,

Sharing the ride.

On the journey some of the passengers will get off,

Others will get on,

And some will abide.

On the panoramic journey to your final end,

You will look back and think,

How many of the passengers will miss their departed friend.

Ken Jones, Katikati.
