a thank you note to my bicycle

dear beautiful machine,
I am sending this letter to you in order to make clear and plain the fact that I love appreciate you. Your gifts to me come daily, by wind in my hair, by earth rolling by underfoot, by water from within and without, and fire that burns away every calorie I can consume. Your unfailing ability to make everyday more fun and bring opportunities for learning and growth is a breath of fresh air. I wonder if you know, dear wheeled friend, how much I feel indebted to you for all you do. Your sweet simplicity demands so little in the way of maintenance that I fear I may not show you the attention you deserve. So please accept this gratitude, for I sincerely mean every word. I love you, you wondrous wheeled treasure, I really do.

Love,
jaymi
