’Twas the day before the Gear Up Against Kids Cancer and all through the land,
The cyclists were prepping, their gear close at hand.
Their jerseys were folded, their helmets were tight,
Their bikes had been tuned for the long morning flight.
The routes had been mapped with precision and care,
In hopes that good weather would soon be there.
With water bottles filled and tires pumped with air,
They dreamed of the wind rushing fast through their hair.
The volunteers gathered, their stations all set,
With first aid and snacks — the best you can get!
The medics were ready, the signs were all placed,
And the start/finish line had been perfectly laced.
The riders were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of brisket danced in their heads.
From po’boys to brownies, and tea on the side,
They dreamed of the feast that would follow their ride.
At Floresville Park, the sun will soon rise,
And cyclists will gather with joy in their eyes.
From newbies on cruisers to racers in kits,
They’ll all ride together in groups and in bits.
With cheers from the crowd and cowbells that ring,
They’ll pedal with purpose, with hearts on a string.
For kids who are fighting, for families in need,
Each mile they ride is a powerful deed.
So thank you, dear riders, for all that you do,
For showing the world what compassion can do.
We’ll see you at sunrise — come ready to roll,
Together we ride, with one heartfelt goal.
When fighting cancer, NO KID rides alone.
