We’re going on a train today,
a train that moves and moves,
so my mummy brought along the bag,
filled with things that sooth.
We’re going on a train today,
along the bumpy tracks.
So my mummy wrote it out and
drew a detailed map.
We’re going on a journey that
takes us far from home,
my mummy brought my teddies
so I wouldn’t feel alone.
We’re going to a party,
where all these people love me,
my hearts in all a flutter,
so many things,
I need a shutter.
The train is going fast, the people
talk to much,
and in London it is obvious
they all do rush, rush, rush.
So my mummy takes my hand
and kisses on my cheek,
‘Relax my little lady’
these memories are yours
to keep,
Let go of the anxiety
and fly high above your head
look there in the deep blue sky
spread your wings instead.
I went on a train today
and my mum was right,
I really was ok.
My legs were heavy
and I wanted to flee,
my heart went fast,
but this didn’t last.
I got too hot
wanted it to stop,
my mouth was dry,
but at least I knew the reason
why.
I went on a train today,
a perfect memory
that will always stay.
Wonderful portrayal of emotions. It’s never easy to feel from the perspective of someone else and express it so effectively and beautifully. Kudos to you 🙂 .
