Train Ride Through My Past

During this past week, I returned to the Midwest for the holiday weekend. My means of transportation inspired the writing for today’s post after seeing my life flash before my eyes in a sense. Try to see if there are different ways to think of the memories of your past. Enjoy!

Train Ride Through My Past

I have taken a train ride through my past.

It feels strange to see everything with a new view

As I return to the old places as someone new.

I am used to seeing the tracks from a far,

And now I see the opposite view from a train car.

I briefly see Chicago

Before I reach the land to which I need to go.

Then, I pass right to the side of Miller Park

Where I ran far back to my grade school years.

At this one park, I saw Trapper Schoepp perform on stage.

At the next town’s park, I remember seeing them at my new age.

This week I had taken a train ride through my past.
