My Middle Child
Oh middle child, dear son of mine
You've always let the others shine
And through the years you stood aside
---I want to say I've noticed you
Your sister charm, of course, we knew...
your brother's gifts were bountiful
But as a child, your words were few
---I want to say I've noticed you
When people cheered, and guitars were played
or siblings sang upon the stage
You cheered them on and praised their way
---I want to say I've noticed you
With wit and charm, your heart of gold
You melted hearts, with kindness shown
You've been there as a generous friend
---A brother/friend until the end
I love you all, ..of course I do
My children, all, each one of you
My quiet child, you're still the same
---You let the others have the fame
As parents now, all three of you
Your families shine, just like you do
You teach them well and love in ways
---So proud I am, my words can't say
My middle child, I hope you know
You've always been the one to sow
Such love to all you've ever known
---I want to say I've noticed you........
