Training Wheels


I was on top of the world when I learned to ride my big-girl bike,
Until I had my great big fall. 
It shook me so badly I put my training wheels back on. 
Then I met you.. 
You rode with me everyday 
Helping me balance,
Giving me confidence, 
Building my strength, 
Making me happy once again. 
You finally had me convinced that I could do it on my own again. 
Little did I know, you wouldn't be there to guide me when I started getting wobbly. 
As my anxiety rose and I fell,
I realized my second great big fall was the greatest of them all,
Because it was when I fell for you.
