Her First Ride
In a sea of concrete
The size of an ant, she waits-
for the camera to flash
It was her first time
On this hot summer day
Feeling the breeze ruffle through her curly brown hair,
With that toothless grin
She is tired
From a long day of pedaling
But that doesn't stop her,
Her grip tight, and her eyes closed
Around and around she goes
Tinted red skin from the sun
Her hair sticks to her forehead
But around and around she goes
Her first ride
