Conclusions Comments

In the end, life IS what we make it, but YOU are shaped by the life given you before you're allowed to control it. So because of what was done to us in our youth. Things like trust, faith, and love of anyone can be altered or enhanced. Sometimes making it harder on that person to have a gentile life. But, Smoky you are correct in saying that life doesn't have to or meant to be that hard. Thank you for reminding all of us that fact

It's interesting how symbolic a railroad track can be...we can either look back nostaligically at where we have been, or look forward with a bright hope for what tomorrow might bring....that's what I sense you want the reader to glean from this beautiful piece Smoky.
