I was feeling a little blue. My mother had been laid off from her job, but she said she was OK since her boss wasn the nicest person 36.
I got off the college bus and started walking. Thats 37 I heard piano music and singing rising above the 38of the people and the traffic. I walked a little slower 39I could find out where it was coming from. 40the crowd I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a 41next to her, singing songs about love. The way she was singing 42me a bit. I stood there watching her 43for about fifteen minutes, thinking that it must take 44to perform on her own in public.
Feeling my presence, she looked in my 45. I walked over and put some money in her carriage. “I have been going through a 46time lately, but you’ve made me hopeful again.”
Im happy that I could 47. Why are you so sad?
Well, my mum had got 48from her job, but I’m not sure what to do….”
You see, the way you were 49, she explained. “Don look defeated, 50come in different ways. If your head is down you might never see it. Smile more ... 51your head up.
I smiled slightly, amazed by how she was 52me.
“Why are you playing here?” I asked.
“I am not making music. I study psychology. I often see many 53people and hope to relieve their 54and make them think positively by sharing music.”
I smiled a little wider. She was doing a good thing. My heart was touched by a 55soul.
