Park Observations

by emmaeday

The toy train rolls on by with an elderly gentleman in the driver’s seat. He sadly has no passengers, yet just a companion running by his side. A young girl keeps up with the train. The train on the tracks. The girl on the pavement parallel to the tracks. The man notices the child. Then he notices the parents of the child. I look beyond the train and spot a couple with the buggy looking at their child. The father had his mouth open, calling after his daughter. No attempt for physical movement was made. The paces were kept till they all disappeared from view.
