Ode to the middle child

Midi File....Meadow

bullet

Born during the war years, in 1943
As the middle child, for we became three
Occupying the middle ground, tis plain to see
Of all the positions, this was the best for me

bullet

The oldest child, carries great expectation
To fulfil parent dreams, without hesitation
Impossible to achieve, by this senior sibling
Falls short of the mark, no matter how willing

bullet

The youngest child spoilt, as the families baby
Receives lavish attention, and that's no maybe
Adult development stifled by repeated rewards
So guard against, as it may well be the cause

bullet

In the middle ground, you are often not seen
So who will ask? just where have you been?
Just do your own thing, and handle with care
One thing you must learn, is how much you share

bullet

"I'm going out, I will be back for tea"
"Ok" they say, and totally ignore me
With the aid of my bike, cover many a mile
Expanding quietly, with a low profile

bullet

At 12 years old, I explore York city
40 miles from home, which is more the pity
In the middle ground, you control your own growth
Without interference from one parent, or both

bullet

Have kept these jaunts secret, for all these years
As I learnt far more, than most of my peers
Developed independence, at such a tender age
For a middle child is free, and rarely caged

Simply Steve

There is only one way to say
"I Love You"
But there are thousands of ways to demonstrate
