Sometimes life derails, seems to run off the track.
The train is too heavy to ever put back.
The world looks so peaceful from inside the train,
Just speeding through life without worry or pain.
Why do life’s changes oft seem so abrupt,
Like a sleeping volcano decides to erupt?
The loss of a loved one, a home, or a job,
Hits as a thief comes to steal and to rob.
It’s hard to recover from life’s heavy blow,
The wound is so deep, the recovery slow.
Once you’ve been through it, life’s never the same.
Some people inside become crippled or lame.
I pray any bitterness soon will depart.
I pray you have courage to make a new start.
I pray that in spite of the trouble life brings,
Your faith can grow stronger, your spirit still sings.
