Not long ago my life would change
The other kids were riding
Bikes with wheels and chains
While I was left behind afraid
That I Might fall or fail
The right of passage
Looming.
And then one day my
Courage came to rescue me
From being left without the
Freedom to express my
Joy discovering that I could fly
Alone.
Not long ago my life would change
The other guys were spending time
Away with someone elegant
Beyond belief who understood
That kissing was a moment found
Together.
And then one day my
Courage came to rescue me
From smart remarks of one
Who doesn’t recognize the
Impact of that first kiss
Everlasting.
