If I Had a Bike

It would be bright and blue My little device of divinity I’d be that kid, the cool one My bike would glide effortlessly Like an aircraft I would have begged a little harder As daddy saw it as dangerous Maybe convince him of the joy It brought with every pedal I longed to know its betrayal As it drops me hard on the ground Then tears roll down my face And mother embraces me, A lesson learned the hard way If I had a bike I would have smiled

Hahaha, every one actually needs a bike its a necessary thing. I keep getting bikes that smash and fall apart from riding so enthusiatically.

Bikes are freedom to children. Maybe that's why parents limit them. I had a bike, but only could ride it on my own street.

Wow, this is a gem Ronny, I love how you could bring the feeling across even though you never had a bike of your own.. Love the idea of the bicycle betraying you when you fall off.. Stunning piece.. Thank you for your comment earlier :) Wilma
