Second Best
In class he was second best
In tests he was second best
In everything recorded
Academically or could be tested
He was always second best
He strived to be the best
To overtake the best
But victory was fleeting
And always
Seemed to be second best
But there is one place
Where he is NEVER second best
Where he alone is king
And though it might seem small
He'll cherish it I hope
He'll never be second in my heart.
