Eduardo's Journey

From this day,
Looking ahead fourteen days will be Eduardo's birthday.
He is to be ten years old and looking anxiously to this day.
He had a feeling his wish of getting a bicycle would come true.
He hinted to his mother and father that it would be a great gift.
A blue bike but then if it was red or green it would be all right too.
His hints seemed not to be taken seriously from his mother and father.
Instead, his mother thought a shirt and tie would be nice.
His father jokingly thought a pair of socks would be a perfect gift.
The thought was hard to bear for Eduardo.
Anyway, Eduardo had his hopes high and a prayer at bedtime
Just may help the cause.
Being helpful around the house is a good idea too.
The day finally arrived, the day Eduardo was waiting for.
The gift Eduardo was wishing for,
A new blue bicycle right in his sight.
His prayer and dream came true.
Mother, Father, and brother Roberto looked on watching
All the joy Eduardo displayed.
"This is great, this is really great."
That's all Eduardo could say.
For the time, it was enough to say, and it was wonderful.
Without further ado,
It was time to learn to ride his bicycle.
Roberto is a good teacher since he already has his own bike.
Roberto is two years older than Eduardo-wiser-and someone
That will watch over him.
