On the midnight train we go, To a land where dreams freely flow. Listen closely, my little one, A lesson in good listening has begun. Choo choo, the train rolls through the night, Passing meadows, stars shining bright. As we journey, let's learn this rule, To be great listeners, calm and cool.
On the train, we gather round, In every carriage, wonders are found. A wise old owl hoots and imparts, The importance of listening with all our hearts. "Listen, my darlings, big and small, To understand others, stand tall. Pay attention to words they say, Let kindness and empathy light your way."
The train whistle blows, loud and clear, Drawing us closer, lending an ear. We hear stories from far and wide, From passengers with joy and pride. A girl with bright eyes shares her tale, How listening made her friendship prevail. She listened to her friend's happiness and despair, Helping mend their bond, showing she cared.
An old man whispers from nearby, "Listening with love strengthens ties." He teaches us to truly be there, For family and friends, showing we truly care. So, on the midnight train we learn, The power of listening, a skill to discern. For when we listen, we understand, And kindness spreads throughout the land.
Now, my little one, as we near our end, Remember to be a listening friend. On the midnight train, let's always strive, To listen and learn, and together we'll thrive.
