Here's to the trains I missed
The loves I lost
The loves I lost
The bridges I burned
The rivers I never crossed
Here's to the call I didn't hear
The signs I didn't heed
The roads I couldn't take
The maps that I just wouldn't read
It's a big old world but I've found my way
And the hell and the hurt lead me straight to it
Here's to the trains I missed

Carletta, this is perfect for for sepia, and I love that poem!
I just love old train trestles. Reminds me of home in my youth. Lived near one. We called them viadocks.
Hi Carletta, This is really a great shot for sepia! I like it very much!
The picture and the song are perfect together.
I am becoming facinated by trestles, trains and tracks. Thanks for feeding in to my fantasy.
Love that picture, Carletta. And I like to check out trestles. We have one near here. I'll have to go snap a picture of it.
And us country people call them "trussels".
Excellent processing on this one Carletta. The text is a perfect accompaniment!
Lovely in sepia and I like the words following the picture. A perfect combination :)
Wow on the poem AND the bridge picture. Good post!!
Great sepia effect on this lonely bridge. Thanks for your kind words on my blog.
cool. It is really like an old photo.
My first entry sepia this week : in HERE. Hope you have time to visit . Thanks
Carletta, it's a perfect choice for Sepia. Very lovely image, and I like the poem too.
That poem speaks to me of both whimsy and independence -- a couple of traits I just might know something about.
You picture is lovely and it suits the poem well -- of course you knew that, that's why they're here together!
your photo beautifully compliments the song!
Excellent choice! I love the character in old bridges and trestles. If they could talk...
A train trestle speaks of lands far away...and so does that perfect poem! Thanks, Carletta for a great post! :)
Now doesn't that just take me waaaaaaaaaaay back! I can almost hear the train coming...
A beautiful picture, and I love the poem you chose to complement it.
OOOH! Love the photo and the poetry! This is fabulous, Carletta!
Love the photo and the poem.
