Train For Christmas - Contest

She has been writing a note for Father Christmas, dreams of a train set for Christmas you see. Though not a boy, would be the toy she’d enjoy She’d imagine places to travel, be free. Through the thick trees of a forest along the side of a seashore. Through the desert of the Sahara blowing the whistle so all would know. She could be the driver or the fireman maybe the ticket collector what fun. Tickets please she would shout in high tone as the glass windows shone in the sun. Please Father Christmas bring her a train so she can imagine places she will never see. Help her escape from her loneliness Can’t walk and run like her friends, set her free. Penned 3/08/2015
