Recycling!

Cycle sweetened childhood

Whirring wheels, ringing bell,

Straining to pedal properly

Bicycle posed a challenge to balance

While tricycle carried earlier phase smoothly.

As years rolled on swiftly at times

Trudged along sometimes

Mobility assumed significance.

Balancing learnt in childhood helped

Facing tough times with a smile.

Folks flocked around and drifted far off,

Fair-weather friends were some

Some remained beacons forever!

Testing times last not eternally

Firm persons fold and unfold fists

Recollecting moments sweet.

Recycling experiences in mind is 

Recharging spirits to surge again!
