Mountain Railway

   Daddy use to sing an old gospel song that talked about how life is like a mountain railroad. Some of the verses were:
   Life is like a mountain rail road, with an engineer that's brave. You must make the run successful from the cradle to the grave. Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels. You will roll up grades of trial and you will cross the bridge of strife. You will often find obstruction, watch for storms, wind and rain. On the fill and curves they will almost ditch your train. See that Christ is your conductor on this lightning train of life. Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail.
 
 Once again my train is on a journey. A little wind, rain and a bit of obstruction will not ditch my train. Many times as I've encountered a hurdle I think of this song and I tighten my grip on the throttle and my eye stays on the rail.......
