Back To My Childhood! (For Barbara's Contest)

I'm riding my bicycle, with the breeze in my face I'm remembering back to a time and a place Where life seemed so carefree, I could hold my arms high As the wheels spinned beneath me, and I could reach for the sky I'm sailing past memories, past all the troubles I've known Past the everyday worries, that we face when we're grown I could peddle forever, to that place worry free.. When I ride that old bicycle, there is childhood still in me!!

This definitely takes me back to when I used to ride my bicycle when I was younger. I think that the mark of a good poem when it can conjure a memory. Congratulations on your win and thank you for commenting on mine!
