What's the title of this poem?

Question

I'm looking for a poem that I read ages ago about a journey on a train. I don't really remember specifics except that the poem was a metaphor for life. Any help is greatly appreciated as I would like to read this poem at my friend's debut.

Answer 1

Is this what you were looking for?

Life's Like A Train-journey

  

Life's a train journey; God's the driver;

We're off to a place called Eternity;

Disembarking's left to each passenger;

From birth till death, We choose any city.

This train is safe to travel till the end;

We should not put our head and limbs outside;

No matter through tunnel or acute bend,

The journey's certainly a jolly ride.

The speed of train is left for one to choose;

The conditions of travel's left to each;

'Tis left to each to sleep, watch, work or booze;

God's City is within anyone's reach.

The rail is safe; so is the engine too;

To reach God's place, depends only on you.
