"LIFE IS LIKE A TRAIN"

By: Hong Ngoc Chau

Does our life seem to be a running train?

When deciding we accept, don’t bargain

Throughout the stations, life is often messy 

We must continue till the end of the journey

At the terminal station clearly shows our love

The dream we have ever had we don't stop

With sincere love, we don't hesitate to earn 

The outgoing train that still cannot return

We can't go back and have in the same river

Lots of crossings help us to know life as ever

Make yourself decision with hope forever 

Choose an opportunity to shape the future

The life partner share here sincerity

Emotions are low and high possibly

Let’s learn from people who full of ambition

For more knowledge to avoid fault affection

How blamed on who both cheated and greedy

When infatuated with selfish calculations truly

Use your mind to raise your affirmation

Enough virtue and talent for life option

Create the place for a reunion of family

Share joys and sorrows together really

Our bright minds make our souls soar high

Meet exciting freedom in the middle of life

Gently the train is running every day

Watch the colorful beauties of life anyway

We unite to have fun with everything

With warm love full of human loving

Harmonize the goodwill of our life partner

Life will multiply a lot of blessings as ever

As precious pearls life is bright and sweety

Like a train arrives at the terminal leisurely
