Felicity

I named her Felicity. Don't know why All babies look the same to me. Yet she grew up into a lively girl, so well accomplished. She learned the piano all by herself. How I delighted to hear her lento and arpeggios. Heavenly music. Then she took to singing her own tunes. Oh, what a delight to my ageing soul. Such melodies, such delicacies. The neighbours flocked to hear her sing. Then I decided to enter her into a contest: The famous " America’s Got Talent". You could not fail to admire her beautiful face, Her slim figure, the elegant dress I bought her. Her singing brought her great ovations. She came second. I could not help but cry.

Having grown up in a house with music, I can appreciate the joy of hearing such wonderful compositions played by a family member. I'm glad she was able to come in 2nd place. A lovely dedication.

Thank you for sharing the admiration you have for Felicity and self-taught talents. Both gifts from God I'm sure. I don't watch that show, but am happy she was recognised for her gifts and talents. I know you are proud of her and I imagine that gives her great joy, my friend. It is such a joy to see the successes of children or friends that share their talents. Blessings for you and her, Victor. Bill
