Railway Station Incident

by Pragun aged 12

I am at the railway station.
I am travelling. I see the digital
Signs. The train will be here
Very soon. It should
Come and stop in a little while.
I open my bag to remove
My wallet keep it above
The telephone box.
My wallet contains coins.
I use a coin to call mother.
‘Hi Mother! I’m at the station.
The train will be arriving soon.’
I hang up.
The train arrives.
I hurry.
It stays only for a short while.
I don’t want to miss it.
I board the train.
It starts.
But then I look out
Of the window. I see my wallet
Sitting on the telephone box.
I forgot to take it
Before entering the train.
It had my train ticket.
Looks like I am going
To have a very tough time
Very, very soon.
