how to ride a bike
memories of those early days
carefree and easy
can you recapture that feeling
that time of when
you learned how to ride a bike
can you fall and get back up
can you try and try again
push off and pedal, faster
to feel the wind in your hair
the laughter from your mouth
freedom from the everyday
the spirit of free time
is time really free
it just is, pretty much is
that time of when
you learned how to ride a bike
wash it shine it up
make it pretty and proud
push off and pedal, faster
you’ll never forget it
once done, now is
memories revisited and made again…
