I was raised by
The crackling of the chain
The long drowning roads
Mountains so high
Just keep pedaling
"Don’t stop me now"
Kind of rides

Some take it all in
Sing it out
"Praise the Lord"
Sort of music

Some Big Band
Beat of the Timpani
Slide of the Trombone
The soft soothing sound
Of the Tuba
Some shaky stands
Band is better
Lost music
"OMG, get in tune"
Type of music

Some Sugar filled
Be precise
Mix it good
Smell those
Sweet, sweet smells
"Don’t Burn the house down
Type of baking

Some dirt path
Downhill
Almost crashing
Huge jumps
"I got some air time!"
Sort of rides

Some Hard work
Keep it going
"Run like you mean it,
I know you can"
Sort of sports

Some handles
Shooting threes
"Practice, Practice, Practice'
Sort of sports

Some lurking around the corner
Don't be scared
"Here's Johnny"
Sort of Reading

I was raised by life.
