The whistle blows, which means move on,
We can’t fret over what’s done, from dusk to dawn.
It chugs along the same path – always steady,
Tells you not to stray, and forever be ready.
A jolt, a jerk, and rattling – are all part of a train ride,
Never ever give up when you face this in real life.
Train rides are peaceful, both to soul and mind,
Do your work and everywhere, peace you will find.
A train will find distractions, scenery beautiful,
Don’t pay heed to these and keep working hard like a bull.
Everything in life has a meaning, sometimes a deep one,
You can learn from absolutely anything under the sun.
