 ~Free Wheelin~

The day you learned to ride a bikewobbling down the street or drivewayMom or Dad running alongside yellingpedal, pedal, pedal

And then one magical day you found
your balance and took off on your own
feeling the breeze in your face, swooping
thrill of coasting down a hill, such sense
of accomplishment when you make it up
a hill to the top of a steep grade

Nostalgia..Once you learn, not to forget
grip the handle bars..And pedal, pedal,
pedal 
much to say about cycling through
life

Wonderful memory in addition to
the wisdom here about cycling through life
once we've learned ;)

Hang on and go!

Love and Light

Don't they say it's something you never forget how to do? That day when Mom let go of the saddle, was it a new found skill or self preservation? This brings back happy memories of a that first short journey that has led to a lifetime of pleasure on my bike.

There sure is. That's why I wrote my poem about pedaling. Must have been channeling you. ;-)

Ah !! peddle on and go with the memories sweet ! Riding down
the hill with no hands and turning the corner on I peddle.

I think we can all remember pedaling by ourselves for the first time...and pedaling in and out of trouble, more so falling in and out of love.

Always,

Deborah

Wonderful poetry and perfect example about how to live you life as much,, or more, than it is about that first bicycle ride. Great poem, Vivian.
