A Bicycle Song

Happy we will be, bike and me
Free as the birdies in a tree.

I love to ride along a country lane
Gathering speed, there I'm going again 
To somewhere there is peace, and all is right
In the pouring rain or the sunshine bright.

I go whizzing along at fastest pace
Where there is nothing in my path to face
Except the whispers of leaves upon trees
The sweetest refrains sung upon the breeze.

I listen to the charming tweets of birds
The nicest of sounds one has ever heard
The crackle and snap of a fallen twig
When my bike happens to slide over it.

I stop a while to take a deserved rest
Admiring nature as its very best
The beautiful wild flowers, grass of green
In loveliest scenes ever to be seen.

I vouch my bicycle is my best pal
Together we will be, a bike and gal
We depend on each other constantly
A partnership as no other could be. 

Happy we will be, bike and me
Free as the birdies in a tree.

what a sweet poem Beryl - I was never allowed a bicycle as a child as a young lad in our road was killed in an accident with a car and it scared my parents. hugs Jan x

Thank you Jan, that’s sad about the young lad. My eldest sister did a Saturday job and saved up to buy herself a bicycle. As sis was always busy studying for exams, me and another sister used to ride on it more than she did, yet she never complained, bless her… Beryl
