Piano Magic
When I was young I learned to play the piano,
I had classes at school with the Royal Conservatory of Music.
Then I had classes at my piano teacher's house,
I used to receive a monkey or a star if I knew the song
When I was in elementary school I asked my parents if I could stop,
They said I could stop the piano classes..
I continued to play as a hobby through my married with children years,
Then came the miracle when I retired, I used to teach myself songs.
I taught myself to play classical songs, popular songs, Christmas music,
Had quite the repertoire of music.
One day a friend heard me and asked me to play for the birthday and teas,
Which i did, I found this very satisfying.
At Christmas I would play Christmas carols for the neighbors,
They really liked this, then one day just before Christmas they moved the piano.
Now we have a brand new grand piano in the dinning-hall,
The chef said I could play the piano during the day.
I found my sheet music again, now the piano magic is back.
I am off to practice maybe I will give a concert.
