Big questions

The little one cannot accept
That the train has arrived
She would have been happy
For it to have run some more
A mystery in the mysterious night
Making such horrendous noise
But hardly a threat with mother
And father to cuddle her
Answer her endless questions
Aren't all of us going to the same place
What happens to those who get off
At wayside stations, do they have
Homes like us, to go to, eat and sleep
Little girls with smaller dolls to care for
Children think the parents
Have all the answers
How do they answer the questions
Life throws at them, on destinations
Not the ones thought to be
The ways taken that will not be taken
If there was a second chance
For the young couple, there's time
Before the big questions arrive
For now what comes next
Is easily answered.
