To The Middle Child
We've always loved you best because you drew a
dumb spot
in the Family, and became stronger for it. You
cried less...
Had more patience... Wore faded clothes... And
never in your
life did anything "first". You are the one we
relaxed with,
and realized that a dog could kiss you and you
wouldn't die.
You could cross a street long before you were old
enough
to get married... And the world would not end if
you went to
bed with dirty feet. You were the child of our
busy,
ambitious years. Without you we never would have
survived
the job changes, the house we couldn't afford, and the
tedium and routine that is marriage. You were the continuance.
