On That Long Train Ahead

On that long train ahead

On that long train ahead, I am always the caboose.

The long train ahead reaches, out into infinity’s heaven.

The Holy Spirit often like an engineer, guiding its destination.

The locomotive makes the most noise, gets credit for the job well done.

The cars in the middle so coupled, mingle with one another so tracked.  

The caboose at the end of the train coasting forward, knowing no ending.

On that long train ahead the caboose not seen will be there, the conductors 

“All aboard” knows.

John H. Hardison..

The Caboose may be last in line, and its function can never truly be defined. Every Caboose is unique and one-of-a-kind, and with the Holy Ghost the Caboose will never be left behind. I've read through quite a bit of your poetry you have a good heart and a good talent speak from your heart always remember you'll never be left behind. And that is a reason to smile.

Perhaps most don't care about our life's journey, and still what matters is that we know where to stop and go. This is full of emotion.
