The Long Road

A journey planned down the road,

The ocean following us side by side,

All the laughter and the fun giggles,

The noise indoors,

The journey together which holds dear,

The confusion and chaos of losing our way,

Dozens of paper maps and virtual maps at display,

That picnic stops for hunger,

That brown basket which has our delicious sandwiches,

The excitement of the journey ahead,

The wild goose chase that we all love,

It’s the journey that matters,

Oh, how I miss those days,

As the destination awaits…

All Aboard !!

The train conductor’s call,

The passengers made their way onto the train,

The engine let out its steam and blew a whistle,

It was then time to leave,

Crew members, service attendants and porters hurried to make it to the train,

The train started to move slowly as it left the station,

Visitors of the passengers waved their goodbyes,

Some with even tears in their eyes,

It was after sometime you could see the end of the train which had many bogies,

So majestic as it curved with every turn,

As the train picked up speed it made more sound and everything outside moved fast,

Each compartment had a door which passengers can lock from inside ,

There were no upper or lower berths neither sides,

Divided into separate areas with no means of moving between compartments,

The aroma of food made the people anxious,

They couldn’t wait to taste the food that was served nearby,

The train changed different routes passing trees ,

Meadows along the way,

Finally we reached our destination and got down from the train,

What an amazing journey it was,

I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again….
