Toy Train

15 December 2010 By: Noel N. Villarosa I was at my age avid for adventure Played outside the home, street as my playground Every nimiety of joy, I want to capture Never ran out of a game plan to lay down At that time, robots are in the boom Voltes V, Mazinger Z, and Daimos, among my favorites But what most appealing for me to have in my playroom Is a battery operated toy train with complete accessories Christmas season is the best time to receive gifts For a child like me, full of excitement and wishful Life was hard before, wishful thinking somehow has gone adrift Somehow, someday under the Christmas tree, I’ll find it circling in full Watch the tiny trains buzzing along the tracks It’s a fun to place little trees and people in the scene Reverberating rhythm of horn and its wheels click-clack Passing by a miniature bridge, tunnels, forest so evergreen Make up stories for the little people in the scene Why there are there and what’s happening Still fresh and playing wildly in my brain I’ll make it happen on Christmas day with my son mingling 6th place in "TOYLAND" contest Sponsored by: Linda-Marie The Sweetheart of P.S. 1/13/2011

There are lots of pleasant memories of childhood that we hold dear to our hearts, Noel! Christmas was my favorite time of year, filled with so much joy and magic! I will never forget the huge bright moon and billions of stars that lit up our world! Beautiful memories in this poem to last forever! Blessings, peace and joy, always, Love, audrey

We played outside most of the time too, Noel, and were never at a loss for "creating" games. Every Christmas, however, my uncle would set up his amazing trains and we had so much fun putting "little people" as well as bridges, trees and tiny buildings in the huge layout. It brought the family closer together, so I'm glad you're still doing this with your son! What a fabulous and unique entry for the toy contest. Wishing you success and a very merry Christmas! Love, Carolyn
