The Last to Paradise

What was known as a day marvel
A great that crossed over sea
It all the whitecaps and the deep coral bed
And the whole world to the keys

Who should take on this lofty
But a man who said was obsessed
Who'd made millions of refining crude oil
Now his focus was on reaching Key

Skeptics and cynics who used pens as lances
Took shots at him and asked what were the chances

Devising a plan to extend the line
By building a sea one arch at a time.

The last train to
Rolled over the ocean against all
Almost in defiance he didn't twice
He had completed the last to paradise.

nature had dealt him some losses
in 0 6 9 and 10
But his vision strong and he vowed to go on
In the of the losses men
After 7 years to completion
He rolled in his car 91
He enjoyed every with a big eager smile
Because things had been done

And the and cynics who had used pens as their lances
Were in awe of the man who had met their
answered all questions and passed all the test
When the conductor now arriving key west

The last to paradise
Built with muscle and sweat and a vision
by what he accomplished in life
A divine inspiration. The Last train to
