Travelling On

All aboard for the journey of a lifetme, I got
my ticket to ride this line, I boarded this train
all those years ago, with no direction as to
where I'd go, this train of life that I began
would take me here, with no thoughtful
plan, I took my seat and started out
not knowing what .......life was about,
there were times when this train delayed, stopped for
a while, I got out,,........ I played,
this train changed tracks, it changed direction
stopped for a while, a new collection,
some weary travellers, friends of mine, ended
their journeys along this line, Im sure they
boarded another train, to another place that
knows no pain, and they gave me things to
help me along, we had danced a while, to
a special song,
yes, there were stops and starts, joyful times
and broken hearts, holding on and letting go
my journey has showed me,,this has to be so,
I know theres places I have yet to see, I may
meet you there,,,,,,,,maybe,
and If I do, with all my heart, I'll welcome you
aboard, and we'll talk awhile before we part,
I'll tell you things that I have seen, show you my
world,, places I've been, and I hope I help
you on your way, to a bright tomorrow, and
a happy day,
I'm still aboard and travelling on, I'm happpy
here, still singing my song,
this journey made me who I am today,
there's no more to say,,,,except

I would'nt have had it any other way!

Everyone who has though I'm grateful to. To those who have put obstacles in the way on purpose to p#ss me and I have to move them go and get run over by O's train..
