Every Family Has Them

Every family has them These unsettling times, these misunderstandings Times when many things come into play In most cases these wee spats are soon over and forgotten But sometimes differences run deeper Because of other factors Such as jealousy, middle child syndrome, personality It's only human nature at play The necessity for all to find our place In the overall scheme of life To establish one's self in the pecking order And accepting it without malice, without jealousy A hard lesson to learn when we're brand new at he game Always suspecting that siblings Are the ones receiving preferential treatment In reality, they are reacting in exactly the same matter Trying their best to learn the ropes To understand what life means, what life is all about But we never do have all the answers Even if we survive those uncertain early years And live to the ripe old age of thirty... Well that is what old age is when you're a teenager Please be assured, you WILL get through And be a well adjusted adult
