I was five when choosing to ride with no wheels.

It brought me one step closer to driving my first automobile.

My dad was so glad for the change I chose,

I even came out of my room wearing biking clothes.

I hopped on the bike and said I was alright,

Although the wind decided to put up a great fight.

Dad gave me a push and I began to go whoosh.

The pedals were turning the gear as I steer with so much fear,

My dad is a shining star and I am so lucky to have him as my father.

As I rode my bike I could hear the wind as it whispered in my ears.

I remember the narrow cement road as I rode down and back,

Looking at the fresh green trees above my head and feeling the ray

of the sun.

I couldn’t stop and my dad had no choice but to run around in circles with me,

Then once he got a grip he stopped the bike and I was safe and sound.
