Ronny Madonsela Poet I do not know?

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

Joann Grisetti May 7, 2012 at 9:22 AM 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. Ronny Madonsela May 9, 2012 at 6:35 AM yeah i see the truth in that, lol never thought of it that way. thanx
