Thousands and thousands of people commute by train br In Japan everyday br In the morning rush hour br Expert 'pushers' at most busy stations br Hurriedly pushed the big crowd of passengers into the train br before the automatic doors could br shut on time for the journey br And only lucky passengers could get seats for themselves br Pity only standing room for the slower passengers. br br One fine Wednesday, on my way to study Bible br in a far away church from my home br I, a simple devoted old lady br With snow-white hair br Patiently stood for nearly two hours br behind a man facing the window-side of this train br Lo and behold br suddenly the speedy train br Lurched and lurched! What's happening? br Poor me, being short couldn't clutch br the strap properly for safety br Accidently I knocked onto the shoulder of this man! br Oh no! br So shocked was I to find my lipstick mark on br his white, starched shirt! br br Terribly embarrassed, I apologized br 'Gomennasai Gomennasai-Sorry, Sorry' br He turned back to look at me, then said br 'Daijobu, Daijobu', meaning 'its okay, its okay' br Oh dear, no way for me to wipe off br the lipstick mark br Worried I wondered how br he would react when teased by his friends at work br Panicked I wondered how br he would answer when or if br His wife were to demand an explanation! br Pity him indeed, br He being innocent br br Dear God, I fervently prayed br She would Not be Suspicious br Or accuse him of being br Unfaithful! br Oh, no br br That embarrassing experience br Taught me to be careful br When riding a crowded train br in the morning rush hour br Especially when thousands and thousands of people br fight their way to get a seat for themselves br br Yes, oh yes, an old lady like me br Ought to cling to the strap br Yes, oh yes, got to be wiser to be br early at the station br No more embarrassment br When I can find a seat br in the train next trip.
