Mom Encouraged Me to Play My Keyboard

Mom encouraged me to play my keyboard that was purchased by her.
She had faith; in me, that I would play it well and I got to be proficient.
I learned how to read music  which was a plus for me.
Mom encouraged me to keep practicing and developing my craft.
I played my parents an invitational hymn one evening.
Mom knew the song and felt really touched by the music.
This is where I felt I was somewhat vindicated of wanting to play and being able to play the keyboard.
Mom encouraged me all through school to do well.
The thing Mom taught me well to do was to spell for she loved to spell, too.
We saw eye to eye most of the time and got along famously.
Jesus is responsible for giving me the best mother I could have ever had.
There have been times of disagreement along the way but  Mom forgave me for the offense.
For  you see, Mom was always right about the things we discussed.
I am so pleased that Mom encouraged me to play the keyboard for with it I have  been given another gift from God.
