The Morning Train



Today my thoughts are with our family back home.  We learned yesterday my Momma's sister, my Aunt Pearl, passed away early Monday morning.  My aunt had such a sweet and gentle spirit.  She was the mother of 13 children.  Yes, thirteen - no multiples!  According to my cousin, her last day was filled with family and church.  She attended a granddaughter's baby shower and a Christmas program at her church, where she read a poem.  Later in the day, she went home to rest.  And as my Momma said, Monday she left on the morning train.  What a wonderful legacy she leaves behind in her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  It's a reminder the most important work I do, is in the lives of my children.

   I'm going home on the morning train
 {Come on go with me children}
 I'm going home on the morning train
The evening train may be too late
I'm going home on the morning train
