Train of Life

Train of Life

They sit in sad remembrance,
Of wasted days gone by,
And curse their life for what it was,
And hang their head and cry.

So strap me to the engine,
As securely as I can be,
I want to be out on the front,
To see what I can see.

I want to see what's coming up,
Not looking at the past,
Life's too short for yesterdays,
It moves along too fast.

Go up front, and you may find,
Your life has jumped the track.

The enjoyment of living,
Is not where we have been,
It's looking ever forward,
To another year and ten.
