Love on a Bike - An Ode to my Beloved, James 9/16/1969 - 9/20/2024

Ours were two hearts that met on a bike. 

Everyone saw it -love at first sight. 

Riding with friends -so many laughs. 

Too fast it was, the time that passed. 

Zigging and zagging like alley cats. 

Back roads and side streets -a lover’s glance. 

Wind in our hair, salt air on our skin 

how I loved to watch those Bianchi wheels spin. 

Sometimes you’d chase 

and sometimes you’d lead, 

proudly poised on that turquoise steed. 

Every now and then we’d find a place to retreat. 

A much needed rest for our tired feet. 

A little stop to enjoy the ocean 

and relish in our love in motion. 

A delicate balance, cycling and love. 

Fitting together like hand in glove. 

Our life together was filled with adventure, 

truly a treasure -a love to remember. 

Tragically, it ended too soon 

but I know you’re zipping through the cosmos 

and past the moon. 

Forever Young, never growing old. 

The most beautiful angel 

with wings to behold. 

Riding on clouds through Heaven’s gold gate 

-I can hear your voice saying

 “pumpkin, it’s great!”

As long as I live, 

try as I might, I’ll never forget 

the day I found love on a bike.
