Piano ~ part II

You can read Part I here,

That friend I mentioned finally bought a piano. Not Ritmüller - but an ancient second-hand Petrof that had been left to hibernate (read "rot") in its "cave" for years. Having played on it a couple of times, I must say that it was a good purchase. First, the price was unbelievable in a good sense. Secondly, playing it gave me the sophisticated picture of a warm and rich chocolate fountain. For a piano that long-neglected, it sure had me surprised. Thirdly, refurbish it well and you have a treasure that will afford you many more years of pleasure with regard to making good music. 

I was happy for my friend. And the Petrof, with all its potential locked within. Finally, a nice home and master for it. No more termites-infested cave. No more lizard droppings. 

But I felt sad all the same. 

I would love to have a piano in my home too.

Dear God, please, if You will, give me a piano. I can't afford one now, but that's not a problem for You. In Jesus' name, amen.
