That'll start an argument there .

 

I found these beautiful words a while ago. I do not know the source of where they came from but I think they have been distilled from this poem “Life is like a train ride” by John A Passaro

I love what the analogy expresses about life and death and wanted to share it with you.



THE TRAIN OF LIFE

“At birth, we board the train and meet our parents, and we believe they will always travelbyour side.

As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life.

However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone.

Others will step down over time and leave a permanent vacuum.

Some, however, will go so unnoticed that we don’t realise they vacated their seats.

This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.

Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.

The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down.

So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are.

It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you all a joyful journey.” -Unknown

 

I had a set of those, but it didn’t cost $1.98, more like 99¢

 

For some reason I never trusted those mail order advertisements back then ,, might be why I very rarely use them today ,, but I always ran down to Kmart, Woolworths, Eckerds , and bought mine. Them and firecrackers and a little gas would keep us busy for at least half the day . Throw in a model ship on the creek bank.
