Up and round the narrow gauge
I set a course as to my age.
New faces, places, pots, and pans.
Talking, praying, these divorced hands.
Apartments, condos, where to live.
Former sins, I hope He forgives.
Courtrooms, lawyers, and legal fees.
Strange houses, cars, and company.
And I\'m looking for love you see.
As I braved this rollercoaster
A dear one says to me,
\"Take the train, it\'s slower,
To friendship A through Z.
An engine need not boil.
Set on simmer instead.
Best way to use less oil,
Thus run with cooler head.
Just visit and have some fun.
Love knows when love\'s begun.\"
I\'m so relieved to board this train.
The roller I think was more a game.
All Aboard for Friendship Towne
Next stop- I\'m Friendship bound.
