Life is like riding a Bicycle

Life is like riding a bicycle,
It takes courage and patience to ride well.
You need a stable, good conditioned bike,
And the will and strength for the pedal.

 
Your parents are your training wheels,
Who support you as you learn how to ride.
But when you’re freed to ride without them,
You can take life’s journey in your stride.

 
Look ahead to see where you’re going,
Keep your destination in focus and clear sight.
Lean with life’s curves so you’ll keep moving,
And ensure your life’s balance is kept right.

 
To reach an upper, higher level in life,
You need to be changing your gears.
It’s only then that your muscles will burn,
And you’ll learn how to stifle your fears.

 
Adjust your speed to control your pace,
Rest well so you can go the extra mile.
Enjoy the thrill of life’s fast-moving race,
And keep riding ahead with a smile.

 
Use God’s Word as your handlebars,
To help steer and guide you on course.
Always wear your helmet of salvation,
To protect you from life’s evil force.

 
Adjust your saddle and maintain your bike,
Inflate your flat tyres with hope.
Expect life’s bumpy and slippery paths,
As you trust in God’s help to cope.
