Hold Tight

Hold tight you said, as I was spread across your handlebars 
Don’t go so fast I screamed, my smile was fixed just like a mask
Increasing speed I feared this ride could be my very last 
Then swiftly we began to rise up in the skies amongst the stars
Whilst riding past the fullest moon upon his bike we saw ET 
Come home he called, just follow me, a chance to meet my family
Hold tight you said, as I was spread across your handlebars

This is a very beautiful interpretation of image number one. Gave cause for me to remember my first ride when a young child, sitting on the handlebars. A fav... love it my friend...
