Train

Poetry has always been my outlet.  One day I was siting at a railroad track in my neighborhood waiting on the train to pass.  It was at a time in my life of uncertainty, when this poem began to flow from my mouth.  As the train went by I began to see that circumstances come to pass in your life.  Soon the train passed and I was able to continue my journey.  Such as with the obstacles in our lives, we can go on with God.

Isaiah 41:10 New International Version

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Train

What do I do when the train is coming?

I was standing on the track

My life flashed before me

As I thought, did I live like that?

Did I live my life in bondage?

Too afraid to share my dreams

Could have soared just like an eagle

But never used my wings.

 

Here I stand my legs are trembling

As warm tears drenched my face

The presence of death was visible

And fear invaded my space

I stood starring at that train

So sure that I would die

No hero there to save me

No time to say goodbye

 

Then Calmness fell upon me

A voice whispered in my ear

That’s not a train that’s coming

There is nothing for you to fear

I heard you screaming out my name

And so I took the evening train

If I had come right away

You’d thought your strength had saved the day

 

I waited til there was nothing else to do

But cry for me to rescue you

So I lifted your head and I dried your eyes

Gave you wings as eagles

My child you can fly

Your burdens are lifted

You have inner peace

What was lost, I gave Increase

 

Chains are now broken

Dreams can come true

Released from your struggles

Your life is brand new

Your story re-written

I say how it ends

Remember, I am your God

Now your life can begin.
