she’s young
she’s pretty
and it’s almost Christmas she’s waiting
on the train
but soon she’ll be home
there will be packages and presents
she will be thrilled
and soon
she will be brimming over
but only when
she’ll get off from the train

Beautiful story, Chris. Looks like I’ll be unable to travel back home for these holidays, so I’m googling how to spend the holidays on your own 🩵

Ah that’s a shame, Jude. But maybe what you should do is this: have something delightful to eat… and drink – read a book and sit out in the sunlight – why not?
…oh and write (of course) ☺️
Happy Christmas – wherever we are!✨

Most of my younger year relative visits were by car… There is always talk of better rail systems, all it takes is money. And keeping the fare so that people will use it.
Fun verse. I think all children should share that type of magic. 🙂

Sadly, many countries aren’t very good as having good trains any more… or even ever. Still let’s think about the made up places and the magic around the world.😉
