All Aboard!
The warning chimes began to play
We had no luggage
Nothing to call our own
One by one we boarded the vehicle
My oldest brother was first
Then my older sister and then me
My younger brother and sister followed last
The chimes played again.
Like a heartbeat, the vehicle pulsated
A life long journey traveling together
We had no idea what we were in for
"Wait for me!"
I heard a voice call out
And there she was
Another traveler headed the same way
My older brother held the door
"Hey, my name is Grace." She said
There was a moment of silence
Some nodded, others smiled
The time had come
My older brother gave me a wink
And off he went
Round and round the forty five yellow moons
His journey forgotten
His life beginning
Waking up after never having gone to sleep
He was the first born
