The Best Train Journey
In the light rain,
A thought in my brain,
About the cranes,
I saw on the plains,
Through my train.
Journey was full of cheer,
With someone who was dear,
There was no fear
On the journey through my train.
There were many sights,
That I saw day and night.
There were no fights,
In my journey on the train.
The vendors came and went,
Bringing toy elephants
For children to play
On journey in the train.
Children running by,
Saying to me ‘hii,
We’re are from Tai’
On my journey on the train.
That was the best
I had some peaceful rest
There was no hurry.
On my journey through the train.
