Hop aboard the chesed train,
It’s never just one stop –
The train goes on, and on, and on,
After each chesed that you drop.
And I’m sure you’ll be glad to hear
That tickets sell for free!
Your entry is just one kindness,
That leads to endless possibility.
And, of course,
You’ll never know
In which direction
The train will go.
‘Cuz once the wheels
Hit the track,
There’s no stopping the train,
And no turning back.
So, some days you’ll give,
And on others you’ll take
And it’s not always
Your decision to make.
You’re on that train,
And as it picks up speed,
Look out your window
For others in need.
‘Cuz to keep that train going,
You gotta keep giving
It’s the only way to add joy,
To the life that you’re living.
And when it’s your turn to take,
‘Cuz now that’s your place,
Remember to smile,
And accept your lot with grace.
‘Cuz giving and getting
Are just stations on this trip;
We’re not in control
Of life’s twists, loops and flips.
Sometimes you’ll give big,
And sometimes it’ll be small;
Don’t negate that quick text,
That smile or that call.
As long as you’re sharing,
And giving what you’ve got –
Whether you have a little,
Or you’ve been blessed with a lot.
On this train,
There’s no first or second class –
We’re all in this together,
As through life we pass.
Our Master Conductor set up the world
To run in this way,
It’s up to us to emulate Him,
Each and every day.
