I took my bike out for a ride this morning
The path was hilly and not completely paved
At times, it was a mundane ride
Just pedaling away and moving straight on my path
At times, I was so tired that I just wanted to quit
But I knew I had to get home eventually
And at times, it was exhilarating - flying down hills with little control
Feeling the wind against my face and loving every second of it
As I parked my bike back in my garage,
My body ached but my soul felt refreshed
I realized that such is life
Ups, downs and straights
And through it all, if we just keep pedaling
At the end of our ride, our souls will reflect all we’ve done
