Friend Within Me

Slick white and black keys
A melody that never leaves
Loud chords struck with a delicate touch
Perfect seat never to slouch

Triple forte should always be loud
Dynamics, staccato and legato...Play it proud!
Double piano softly whispers
Harmony and melody coming together

Long strings echoing off in the distance
Three pedals sowing off modest resistance
Time signature is your clock
The musician only has the power to stop

Staying on beat is always the key
Unless you want your song to go off and leave
Beautiful black painted instrument of wood
Strong legs that have always withstood
Covering to keep floating dust out

Major and minor peaces being played
Lovely sonatas being performed every day
Long practices of much hard work
Your mind and heart to ever exert

Nervous performers can never forget
That friend speaking through your emotions to vent
Sitting still in front of the world
Sharing your feelings to them and yourself

When no one listens she'll always be there
Loneliness until you combine your soul within her keys
That everlasting moment will always be...
This lovely grand piano is the instrument within me.
