Ode Of A Middle Son

Two brothers two sisters
And me in the middle
Raised we were
With hearts not too brittle
Mother taught us
To be tender and care
Father taught us
To be bold and to dare
Together they taught us to be strong
Yet, not over - bearing
To work for what we wanted
And the joy that comes from sharing
The best of children
We may not be
But, none were raised
With more love than me
Now you both see
The job that you've done
With gratitude and love
From your middle son
