Joshua - child on a train


And you Josh what will become of you?
As you desperately try to  launch yourself from your father's arms
His grip is secure and you fear nothing.

A demolition expert like your namesake
or a leader of men?
You already know how to demolish a rusk or two
and your mother's best china, given half a chance.

The train moves on and I am left behind
standing on the platform considering your fate.
God bless you Josh, may you always smile so freely.
