Second Fiddle

The hardest instrument to play
Is second fiddle, so they say
And I believe this is so
I've tried, but haven't mastered it though
It takes more grace than pen can tell
To play the second fiddle well.

To softly play in harmony
While others shine in melody
At times to even pause and rest
While others give their best
It takes more grace than pen can tell
To play the second fiddle well.

While others are honored so
It seldom plays a grand solo
Yet in the background keeps its place
While others in the spotlights face
It takes more grace that pen can tell
To play the second fiddle well.

The second fiddle compliments
All the other instruments
While faithful to keep time and tone
Tis of great price and worth unknown
It takes more grace than pen can tell
To play the second fiddle well.

The master looks for those who he
Can use in his great symphony
Tis but a few can bend and blend
On whom he always can depend
It takes more grace than pen can tell
To play the second fiddle well.
