Steadying my bike
to break my fall,
how amazingly strong you were
as I recall.

This is very sweet. My brother taught me to ride a bike. Back when he was still a good guy. It was funny, we got on each others nerves like crazy, but when it really mattered he never let me fall. I miss the way he used to be. This is a great write. Short but very sweet.

oh bikes lol i must have wrecked a thousand when growing up, i remember borrowing my brother's bike without his permission and buckled both wheels of it in the space of an hour

Great imagery here for such a short piece of writing. Really imbedes that image into the mind. Well done Libby.
Good luck in the contest.

The things kids remember, that to adults meant very little, but to them was something so wonderful. Through the eyes of a child we say - things really shine. Lovely thoughts conveyed in these few lines.
