When the Wrong Train Becomes Right

Life is filled with many different journeys
trying to work out the one for you
whether that's a person or just a place
it's figuring out for you if it's true

THere's that station just off the main street
checking the timetable what will it mean?
your train has gone just a minute slow
on the platform you stand all be seen

Take the next train come along the line
where to? who cares you just gotta go
down the line it came right on time
was this supposed to be but you never know

There you take your seat first-class
looking out of the clear glass so very fast
along the way, one so stunning entered
sits directly across indeed my die is cast

Her beauty so breathtaking to intake
so thankful I missed that train so late
our eyes met instantly never want to leave
the wrong train was right showing life is great!

('Sometimes the wrong train will take you to the right station' - quote from the movie ' The Lunchbox' )

Believing that "God makes no mistakes," I enjoy His direction even in my train-journey. Thanks for the wisdom you shared in your piece. (Thanks likewise for your constant messages of encouragement.) God bless you.

Sounds like a train called fate Gordon. Many things we think are accidental, are things that happen for a reason. We just have to be able to discover the reason. Nice poem. Blessings, Susan
