Change of heart

The morning sun, hurts my eyes

I squint and stretch, before I rise

With joints so stiff and muscles aching

I understand the chance I’m taking

Drink some coffee, have a wash

Slice of toast and orange squash

Pop my pill to dull the pain

Then here I am alive again

Don my leathers, go outside

Start the bike, and off I ride

Feel the wind blow in my face

Hit the street at rapid pace

Throttle open nice and wide

In and out the bends I glide

Hit the highway in top gear

One sixty five, feel no fear

Throttle back take it steady

Realise, I'm not yet ready

Felt the buzz out on this drive

Feels so good to be alive
