Oh The Places You'll Go

I've always loved the sound of a train passing in the night. The sweet sneeze of the whistle blowing in the dark air. The hum of the wheels as they chugged along the track made the sound of a promising song within my soul. There was the promise of adventure in far off places. That whistle beckoning me to jump aboard and go abroad. I'd lie in bed and let the sound encourage my youthful imaginings. Somehow I was comforted in knowing that there was life beyond where I was in that very moment. Train lullabys sang out that it was okay to sleep and dream, for in your tomorrow you can travel far away and be free. Your ticket awaits. You need only seize it and believe it. The pressure of this strong metal beast passing through the night,  resonated deeply in my spirit. With a deep breath and a smile on my face, I'd fall asleep happy and cozy.
