“Father, how much longer
is it till we arrive?
My patience, I wish were stronger
But its not” the son he sighes
“not all that much long lad
not far is the cold train
from setting it iron-clad
body on that town of rain
where your sweet mother dwells
not long till we shall see
the clicking melodic shells
she always collects from the sea”
a boy stands beside a bridge
which is now only a drop
when suddenly over the ridge
a train comes, too late he screams “Stop!”
