Faded Memories

Faded Memories

of a little red trike

sitting in the shed

gathering dust

holding onto faded memories

of when it was used.

 

Little tiny bottoms

sitting on it for hours

riding up & down the block

the laughter & joy

the smiles & giggles

remembering when it was used.

Red, blondes & brunettes

as the years went by

from the 60's, 70's & 80's

oh my

that little red trike

when was the last time it was used?

Faded Memories

of a little red trike

sitting in the shed

gathering dust

holding onto faded memories

used by her, me & you.

Author's Note

Me on my trike in approx 1975 3 yrs old ish.. at our neighbors Andy & Betty's house. We lived next door to the left in a trailer until I was 4 when we moved to the new house across town. That was my Dad's truck on road there. Photo may not be cut, copied, pasted or stored anywhere. It belongs to me.

True was sitting here one day & this picture came to mind. I remembered that trike & all us kids that rode it. The tires were hard molded & in spots the inner metal rim in the tire itself, showed through. Had to write about it. Thanks for the comment!

This is really nice, captured one of those little things that you don't realise will matter as much as it does until you get older and further away. Makes me want to watch my kids a little longer, savour the moments a bit more.
