All Aboard

We’ve all climbed aboard of life’s ride;
going to an undisclosed destination;
there’s little on life’s train, we can decide;
we may only share our own inclination.

Many think destiny has laid out the track;
but, every track has switches, along the way;
once they’re passed; we can’t come back;
they contain challenges for another day.

Others ride with us on the same train;
many disembark along the way;
but, new ones get on, and then remain;
and some are just destined to stay.

Lifelong friends are made on each trip;
and, sometimes, enemies too;
determination, goes far to equip;
and new lives add to our view.

On the track of life, we sometimes derail;
by an act of our own; or one by the Master;
for attention must be paid to every detail;
or the train will derail much faster.

Angels hover over each train track of life;
where the children of the Master travel;
treating them each, as a husband or wife;
preventing that their soul unravel.

We’re destined as engineers on life’s train;
not as a conductor, making excuse;
for we are the Master’s “skin in the game”
we’re not meant to be the caboose.
