Pastel Playground No. 3 by Tony Menias

Kick push, Kick push; She rides with glee
A space where she can thrive, flourish, and be
Kick, push, kick push; She takes flight
Colors warp around her, no stop light
Kick, push, puSH, PUSH! determined and bold
She loses balance, tumbles, and falls
She lies there for a moment, her head spins round
Her heart racing, as she feels the ground
She stands up and brushes herself off
Her pride a little wounded, but her spirit intact
She picks up her scooter, and gets back on track
Kick, push, Kick, push.
