The station so very crowded.
It was Holiday once more.
Luggage racked on wheels
rolled across the floor.
Heightened anticipation
of loved ones soon to see.
Tickets held in sweaty hands
that gladly paid the fee.
Standing on the platform
a distant whistle blows.
Boarding gates start forming
such eager anxious rows.
Once seated on the train
there standing in the aisle,
the conductor takes your ticket
as he wears a knowing smile.
All the world is right
when you step outside the fray.
For we all need and deserve
the occasional Holiday

I LOVED this! So light and airy and upbeat, like I was standing on the platform with all the passengers. A reader couldn't ask for a poem with better imagery, and the pic you chose just drives the words home. This just made me feel happy and warm, and want to reminesce(sp?) trips gone by
