Cycling Class


All waiting was over
The time was now here
Trust in my father
Would conquer my fear

First he would push me
Then he’d let go
Grace was a word
I still didn’t know

Wobbling side to side I would fall
Next from a distance his deep voice would call
“Don’t worry, you can try again tomorrow”
