Never put all your eggs in one basket 
Her grand mother once said 
She remembered these words so clearly 
They stuck in her head 
She lived each day to the full
Her days were so busy 
She was always on the move 
Her life was far from dull
She decided it was time 
To take her grand mother old bike 
Out of the shed 
It was a pretty pink one 
Reflecting sparkles in between
It has been years since 
I rode a bike 
Oh my goodness 
What am I like 
As she rolled up flower shop 
And bought what she wanted 
She filled her basket that day 
With wonderful pink flowers
On her way 
She had to pass that huge hill
This was her only way home 
She cycled up it as if going no where 
But it was worth it 
When she finally reached the top 
Almost out of breath 
She did not know it yet 
As she looked down 
A long strip of road 
Waited for her 
To cycle by 
For her to glide 
She said to herself 
Oh well here goes
Pushing her feet in 
Curling up her toes 
She let herself free
The bike done the rest 
She went at speed 
What a trill she felt 
Not braking once 
Just in case 
It was like she was challenging herself 
Like she was in a race 
When she came to the end 
Her hair was everywhere 
But she was so happy 
She just didn’t care 
Now she knew 
What her grand mother meant 
With all her old sayings 
She meant to enjoy l
Do not worry 
Live and love life
