Riding the bike is

My mom called me in the middle of yesterday, saying she wrote a poem about riding her adult tricycle. It came to her in 15 minutes, and she wanted to read it to me over the phone. I was touched.

Riding the bike is
(by M. Chahinian) 

Wind blowing the hair
Breathing the fresh air
Flowers everywhere
Trees planted along the way.

Exercising is the best
Going east and west
Stopping for some rest
And perhaps be the guest.

Happy people to greet
Chit chat and meet
Embrace the heat
Bid farewell and proceed.

It is a good way
To start the day
Continue till midday
Then call it a day.

The pleasures are endless
Always happiness
Joy and gladness
Knowledge in quietness.

Looking at the birds perched on the wires
Without any cares or fear of fires
Well protected and fed by their Supplier
He who is our Heavenly Father.

Totally cute, right? 

Alice used to write poetry like this. Did my mom impact Alice's writing?Or did Alice influence my mom? 

Probably both.
