Tribute to my Dad

The Railroad Man took his

last train ride home this past week.

Those tracks took him to

where he at lasts belongs.

Now he can pursue his love of flying.

Train rides and plane rides are

all the same up there beyond the stars.

Now every time I hear a train whistle

blowing from the Burlington yards,

I will remember him for his love of trains,

and planes,

and me.
