Milestone to Tombstone

milestones may be uncertain, but tombstone is certain

Our birth blows a whistle and starts our train on a journey of life to death

the destination is a sure time of travel unknown

many will board our train during travel at various stations

many will alight too

but no one will travel with us and get down at our final station

many stations and milestones

both physical and personal will appear and will be left behind

because this train never stops

and you can never get off it

Notice everyone who enters your compartment

get involved with whom you want

but never get entangled with anyone

because either by choice or compulsion, someone may get off at an intermediate station.

remember people will come and go, and some even stay till your end, but when your train halts, they are already in their own train
